These are the most basic socks we could possibly make. We begin by knitting a simple rectangle with a tiny bit of shaping created by placing stitches out of work near the toe. The toe is gathered and the edges are stitched together. The top is allowed to roll. These are tube socks.
the pattern is part of a book of socks for single bed mid-gauge and bulky machines. Table of contents is below:
Hobby Socks is a collection of patterns for knitting on mid-gauge and bulky single bed machines. Plastic bed hobby machines are perfect for these socks. 2 gauges are given for each pattern. Both gauges are achievable on both mid-gauge and bulky machines. The patterns are all presented in sizes from infant to XL adult. $20 as an instant download
