Designer’s Notes:

  • If you prefer tighter ribbing, use one needle size smaller in those areas.
  • Sock is worked from the ‘toe’ up even though there is no toe.
  • These socks can be worked two-at-at-time. Just note that you will either need to split the solid color hank into two balls, or pull from the inside and outside of a caked yarn.
