the cast on for those socks is with the worsted weight yarn if you dare and use sock weight yarn then:
you have to do your gauge, so from there you would have to figure out how many stitches to cast off with. you should measure the ball of your foot and then i minus that number by 10%. then take your stitches per inch and multiply that by the previous number.
if you are going to do socks, definatly use a worsted weight yarn first. then move on to a sock weight yarn. just show the pattern to women in the knitting store and they will be glad to help you find a yarn that is suitable for that pattern.
i like the knitting corner in huntington.
