These top-down socks are my go-to projects anywhere, anytime. Knit in simple stockinette, I can knit around and around the leg and the foot without looking at my hands, making them the perfect project for a dark movie theater, sitting around the campfire, standing in line at the store, or attending my boys’ violin performances and robotics competitions. It’s amazing how many socks I can knit without even trying! I always have at least three pairs on my needles: one in my car, one in my purse, and one next to the couch. The cuff, heel flap, gusset, and toe require a little extra attention (usually making this the pair by the couch at these transition points), but once you’ve knit these socks a few times, you’ll have the numbers for your size memorized. They will work with any fingering-weight sock yarn, and I’ve included instructions for making a contrast cuff, toe, and heel. Try a pair . . . or two . . . or three . . . Anywhere. Anytime. **FINISHED SIZE** Adult S (M, L, XL) **Leg / Foot Circumference** 7 (8, 9, 10)" / 17.5 (20, 22.5, 25) cm; fits leg/foot circumference of 8 (9, 10, 11)" / 20 (22.5, 25, 28) cm **Leg / Foot Length** Adjustable to fit **YARN** Fingering weight *Shown in* Sample 1: Leading Men Fiber Arts Show Stopper (75% Superwash Merino, 25% Nylon; 463 yds / 100 g): All Eyes on Ewe (variegated), 1 full skein.
