This is the Worsted Weight version of the Daily Slipper Sock, originally designed in DK Weight. The first image shows both versions for comparison, the Worsted Weight is on the right (the brown colour)

ABOUT
The Daily Slipper Sock in the Worsted Weight version, is 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. The pattern was originally designed in DK weight.
