Something as simple as a hand-knit pair of
socks can soothe you when fighting a cold
or just wanting to chill. In soft, brushed yarn
these roomy socks are perfect for putting on
when you come home, instead of slippers.

Notes
1. Each sock is worked in rounds,
beginning at top of leg.
2. The sock begins as a simple tube with
decreases worked on end to form
toe. Then an "after thought" heel
is worked, only after the rest of the
sock is completed.
3. As the sock tube is worked and the
heel location is reached, waste yarn
is knit into about one-half of the
stitches to "mark" the stitches onto
which the heel will be worked later.
4. When the sock tube is completed,
the waste yarn is carefully removed
and the stitches above and below
the waste yarn are placed back onto
needles to begin the heel.
5. To make it easy to see and remove
the waste yarn, we recommend using
a smooth yarn of the same weight but
different color from the working yarn.
