! Waste yarn for provisional cast on (preferably slick or cotton)

Gauge:

Technical Notes:
These socks are knitted flat with either stranded or intarsia knitting for the keyboard, kitchener stitched into a tube. The toe, cuff and afterthought heel added last. Knitting is started on the black key side of the keyboard with 8sts of white for each key x 10 white keys. Both socks can be made identically, then one of them reversed so that the keyboards are mirror images of each other.
