GAUGE:

6.4 sc and 8 rows = 4 inches. 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 less 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.

Cottage Slipper Socks Reviewed by Kelly Rich on 2008-02-06 *****
I started with one pair of these wonderful socks for my daughter's boyfriend. They were my very first try at knitted socks. They came out great! Everyone who sees them, just has to have a pair! I have made 4 pairs so far, with 3 more to make! My last version was with a different color yarn for the heel and toe.

If you are a novice knitter, and want to try to knit socks,but are afraid, try these. They are easy and fast to knit!
