Notes:

• These socks are knit from the cuff down, upside down, in the round using double pointed needles (DPNs). You can also use magic loop method or a 9” circular needle if you prefer.

• The toe of the sock is closed up using the Kitchener stitch. You can find a great tutorial by Very Pink Knits on YouTube.
