From the magazine:

I love knitting socks! They are the perfect travel project and who doesn’t love wearing them? These days lots of knitters prefer to use 2 circular needles, but I still enjoy using my dainty little dpns. These instructions can be knit using either sort of needles: place markers if using dpns and if using circulars make the stitch division where the markers are placed.

Tension: 2 patts to 8cm on 2.75mm needles, or size to achieve tension.
