Women's Double-Strand Toe Up Socks
Lion Brand® Sock-EaseTM
GAUGE: 24 sts = 4 in. (10 cm) in St st worked in rnds (k every rnd), with 2 strands of yarn held tog. BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.
STITCH EXPLANATION: Note: Do not use an existing st to work a M1 or M1P. Both are worked using only the horizontal thread lying between needles as explained below.
M1 (make 1) An increase worked by lifting the horizontal thread lying between needles and placing it onto left needle. Knit this new st through the back loop - 1 st increased.
M1P (make 1 as if to purl) An increase worked by lifting the horizontal thread lying between the needles and placing it onto the left needle. Purl this new st through the back loop - 1 st increased.

| Women's Double-Strand Toe Up Socks Reviewed by Rita Bolognani on 2011-11-04 |

| I have to say that I LOVE knitting socks and will try these toe up socks but I will be using a different yarn. I think $42 for a pair of socks is just a little outrageous!
