Looking for a small project to take on your vacation? These socks are a great project for long journeys. Knit as a long tube, using a pattern repeat, that once you get into a rhythm with, you don’t have to think about too much! So you can sit back and enjoy the view, get your favourite music, podcast or audio book on and get going!

Good news! Although it may look like a lot of purls, this tube is created inside out, so the majority of stitches are knit rather than purls!

I have given guidance with measurements, but when it comes to calf length and foot length, these are easily customisable for your personal preference.
