These are part of the book, Socks of All Sorts vol. 2. The table of contents for the book is below.

NOTES
2 beds are required for all of the patterns except Toasty Toes. Use a Japanese machine with ribber or a true double bed machine like a Passap or Superba
“All gauges” really means, for this book, standard, Passap, mid-gauge and bulky. Patterns are not tested on fine gauge machines of 3.5-3.6mm needle spacing.
If you have multiple machines, here are some suggestions: Passaps are first choice for regular socks, bulkies are first choice for slipper socks.
Where 2 gauges appear in 1 pattern, numbers for the second gauge: {are here}
All patterns are for adult sizes.
