GAUGE:

For smaller size: 22 sc = 4 inches (10 cm) with G hook and double strand. BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE.
For larger size: 20 sc = 4 inches (10 cm) with H hook and double strand. BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. 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.

NOTES:

Work with two strands of yarn held together throughout.

NOTE
These socks are easy to make in one flat piece. See diagram for progression of crochet. When finished, they will resemble the Turkish method of knitted socks, with the heel appearing to stick out when folded. On the foot, however, they fit exactly as a commercial sock.

Joan's Socks Reviewed by Audrey Deneui on 2009-08-14
I've made this twice, now and I'm working on my third pair. I take the crochet pattern and knit it. That way, I can have two socks on the needles at once. I don't like to use dpns. Audrey
