From the pattern: "…Times like these that call for a speedy sock pattern… an ‘I’d sell my sole to the thousand little knitting gods to whip up a pair of fast, comfortable, machine-washable socks with a nice heel I can knit while I’m watching mindless tv pattern.’



Poof!



More traditional socks use a slip-stitch heel - I prefer a smooth heel, and non-handknit-wearing folks will appreciate a less bulky fit. This pattern uses a Dutch heel (also called a round heel)."
