Pattern description from Knit Simple Magazine, Holiday 2006: “Warm tiny toes with easy, adorable socks. Knitting in the round eliminates purl rows; play footsie by changing the width and frequency of the stripes to your liking.”

Knit Tip: “Get your feet wet by knitting your first socks in a small size. Once you’re used to the construction, you’ll be ready to cash in on the craze for yourself.”
