Joan's Socks

Lion Brand® Wool-Ease®

GAUGE:

For smaller size: 18 sts + 26 rows = 4 inches (10 cm) with smaller needles and double strand.
For larger size: 16 sts + 24 rows = 4 inches (10 cm) with larger needles and double strand. 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:

skp Slip 1 st, k 1 st, pass slip st over

NOTES:

Work with two strands of yarn held together throughout.
