These are named for my friend Lindsay, who would love to lounge around in comfy socks all day. The main stitch pattern combines garter stitch and a stockinette wedge, so the stitch count varies from round to round. On the outer side of each sock is a vertical stripe, which creates an interesting visual element and eliminates the visible job created by garter stitch in the round. To match the garter-stitch elements of the main stitch pattern, I used a garter-stitch cuff, short-row heel, and short-row toe.
