Joan's Socks
Lion Brand® Wool-Ease®
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.

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.
