This pattern assumes the knitter is familiar with knitting socks. This pattern was written for the magic loop method but can be easily adjusted for the use of double pointed needles. Though an easy pattern, it is not meant to be used as a tutorial for new sock knitters. It should be fairly easy to figure out though if you are new. There is a tutorial on the kitchener stitch at the end of the pattern. Please feel free to message me if you have any questions or comments on this pattern. Thank you!
