CONSTRUCTION NOTES

Pudgy Socks are knitted seamlessly from the top down, starting with a 2x2 ribbed cuff. Once the cuff is complete, continue knitting the leg while following chart A. The heel is shaped using German short rows for a comfortable and well-fitting heel. Continue with the foot in stockinette stitch across the top and sole, and finish by shaping the toe for a seamless, cozy pair of winter socks.
