This pattern is ideal for the beginning sock knitter. It provides a positive sock-knitting experience so you can delve into the world of sock knitting with the confidence needed to knit more advanced patterns. Simply Striped Socks are knit toe-up using Judy’s Magic Cast-On, the Magic Loop method, and an afterthought heel. There are no short rows in this heel method, just simple decreases! Ending with Jeny’s Surprisingly Stretchy Bind-Off prevents a tight cuff.
