Final SAM3 Socks!


Here they are! My July socks. These are a prototype for girls dorm socks. I decided to put the G_kids Christmas money gift inside a pair of socks this year. I'll do a boy pair and then start knitting socks in earnest!

This pair took ONE skein of Lion Brand Wool Ease. I knit them on size 6 denises--2 circs. I used the magic cast on, short row heel, 3x1 rib up the leg (about 3"), and ended by doubling the number of stitches, st st for one more round and then cast off in st st, creating the ruffle. This was a very quick knit.
