Really Easy and fasr, but they were too high for me, so I reballed the yarn and used Christine's idea, to make booties. Instead of the ribbing I used K 1 row, P 2 rows, K 3 rows, Purl 3 rows, K 4 rows then started the heel. Makes a sort of rolled cuff look. Put a soft suede sole on them, too. Love 'em. Sibyl Vaughn
