ABOUT
The Daily Slipper Sock is a DK weight knit using Fisherman’s Rib and worked from the top down. It’s easy to slip on with a comfortable heel shape. The cuff is cupped around your heel for the best fit. It can easily be made taller by working additional cuff rounds, or leg rounds before the heel increases. This sock works up quickly and is very satisfying to knit! It’s wonderfully stretchy, accomodating a sock underneath on colder days, or on its own.
