This is a simple pair of bed socks, knit using Judy’s Magic Cast-on and the Magic Loop method for 2 at a time, in the round, with a garter-stitch toe and a garter-stitch short row heel. The bottom of the foot is knit with a double-knit sole pattern that makes walking in your socks extra cozy. The top of the sock is knit using the Fisherman’s Rib pattern, which creates thick and squishy socks.
