Comfy Socks are socks perfect to wear at home, without slippers around the house, or on the couch for some down time or, if you are one of those people with really cold feet, you can wear them in bed.
These socks come in 1 size, they are worked without a heel, so it can be a first try for someone that want to knit a pair of socks, but he’s afraid to knit heels. This way you can start to get used to work with double pointed needles.
Comfy Socks are worked in the round, using one set of 5 double pointed needles. To give a nice touch to these socks, I make them using 2 yarns. The front decoration is made with a simple cable work to keep the knitting interesting.
