 For those of you that want to get your cuff/toes done ahead of the 1st - here are the instructions

Starting instructions for toe up or cuff down. This year we will be doing colourwork again. You can choose to knit these from the toe or cuff, or one of each. We hope you have fun creating these unique socks!Reminder you do not have to do the colourwork, you can just do the stripes in one of the suggested colours each day, you could also choose to add a cable like we did a few years ago. there are no MKAL police here, we want you to have fun.

Toe-Up

Using either of your house colours or a good neutral, cast on 16 sts using Judy’s magic cast on (or preferred method for toe up) divide onto two needles (8 sts each). knit one round. inc round k1 m1r knit til last stitch on left needle m1l k1 x2. Repeat the increase round for 3 more rows then repeat it every other round until you have at least 60 sts. Check if it seems tight go up in 4st increments until it feels comfortable. If you intend to do the colourwork sections you’ll want at least 68 sts.

Cuff Down

Using either of your house colours, cast on 68/72 sts and join in the round working k1, p1 rib for 8 - 10 rows (or as many rows as you want your cuff to be)

Day 1 - Arthur Weasley

  Day 1- Arthur Weasley  Arthur Weasley: The Muggle Enthusiast Arthur Weasley is a kind-hearted, well-meaning wizard, the father of seven children and husband to Molly Weasley. He is an employee of the Ministry of Magic, where he works in the Misuse of Muggle Artefacts Office. His most defining trait is his lifelong, passionate fascination with the non-magical world, or the "Muggle" world. Unlike many wizards who view Muggles and their inventions with contempt or ignorance, Arthur is genuinely curious and respectful of their ingenuity. His famous question, "Tell me, what exactly is the function of a rubber duck?" highlights his bewilderment and earnest desire to understand even the most simple, yet apparently functionless, Muggle items Prompt 24 Rounds on SOCK A Knit CHART on SOCK A. Using Yellow for the duck and the color of a car you love for the background.
