From the Book
“Since double knitting offers twice the warmth, cushion, and creative space as a regular knitting, it’s a natural choice for toasty, trendy bed socks. This balanced (no-roll) fabric eliminates the need for ribbing or hem, allowing one to begin the pattern immediately.”

By working the pattern at different gauges (from 5.5 sts to 8 sts to the inch), Kim can make bed socks that measure from 10” around to 7” around.
