I am really over having cold feet, so I have this dream of a drawer that’s overflowing with thick house socks! To see this dream made real before next winter, I need a pattern that’s really fast, really mindless, and that doesn’t have features that piss me off. You know, a stock, go-to pattern.
The part of the name, version 1.3, is due to it taking trials of three different short row techniques before I lit upon one I liked. It has no wraps and if you do the marker thing, it doesn’t even require counting. Much. The choice of yarn and needle sizes gives the thickness and the quickness. I recommend some superwash wool, since these will see a lot of wear. Self-striping yarn, like that in the photo, is like crack for this pattern!
