In addition to the pattern, you need the following materials to knit the X Mark The Spot pattern:

• Biscotte Yarns Bis-sock (85% merino wool 15% nylon / 100 g - 400 m) Self-striping and semi-solid colourway. Poire : approx. 40g. Chouette: approx. 40g. [The color Chouette] is discontinued, we recommend the color Heureux d'un Printemps].
• Five 2.50 mm double pointed needles or size needed to attain gauge.
• Stitch markers [2], ring markers (optional)
• Tapestry needle

Gauge : 31 sts x 46 rnds = 10 cm Swatch should be worked in the round and measured after blocking.

Final Measurements : Notice that the socks stretches and comes loose after blocking and the first times used. Unfinished work should feel a bit "tight" so that the sock would still fit nicely the foot after you have finished your work by wet blocking.
