I wish that I was born with the innate ability to knit socks, but I was not. This pattern uses worsted weight yarn versus fingering weight because I needed to find a way to motivate myself to make socks that wouldn’t take forever! These socks knit up relatively quick, and one of the trickiest things other than decreases of the heel and toe, would be picking up stitches for the heel! Here is for a cozy, slipper like sock that will knit up in no time!

I designed this pattern for the worsted sock yarn from Harbor Fibres, which you can find on www.harborfibres.com
• A piece of scrap yarn for knitting in an afterthought heel

• Row counter (or a method to keep track of row count)
• Pen and paper to keep track of where you are/left off
