Papa Bear’s socks were too big, Mama Bear’s socks were too plain, but Baby Bear’s socks were…well, just right! With a “misaligned” diamond lace pattern, these bed socks are interesting to knit without being terribly challenging. Worked from the cuff down in a worsted-weight yarn, a pair can be knitted up very quickly.

As part of the Folklore Bed Socks: Volume One e-book, Just Right includes detailed written and charted instructions, as well as photo tutorials for finishing techniques.
