WEAR IT: SIMPLY SOCKS WEAR IT

Simply Socks
Learn to knit a pair of comfy socks that fit.

I’ve always loved knitting. My mother first taught me when I was a child, and I’ve been at it ever since. But I didn’t pick up socks until graduate school. In retrospect, this surprises me — they’re so much fun! They’re knit in the round (hardly any purling), they’re wonderfully portable, and they’re small, so they finish up really fast. Now, I’m always working on at least one pair.

If you’re a knitter who’s never tried socks before, now is your
chance! This pattern gives you a basic cuff-down sock for a
woman with a size 8 foot.
