Notes

The socks were knitted with a light worsted wool and a size 3 circular needle, top down, casting on 48 sts for the leg. One pair was knit in stockinette, the other, 3/1 rib. They should fit a size 7 woman foot. One skein of Yowza easily yielded 2 pairs with enough yarn left over for a toddler-size pair.
