Learn to knit a classic pair of socks from toe to cuff with this pattern and video tutorial. The socks are worked using the two circulars method for knitting small circumferences in the round. They have a mock short-row toe and heel worked in contrasting colors, a striped Stockinette stitch foot and leg, and a k1p1 rib cuff finished with a sewn bind-off. The accompanying video tutorial walks through each of these steps in detail.
