Scrunchy, Slouchy Slipper Socks

Lion Brand® Wool-Ease® Thick & Quick®

GAUGE:

8 sts + 12 rows = 4" (10 cm) in St st (k every round or k on RS, p on WS when knitting flat). 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:

ssk (slip, slip, knit) Slip next 2 sts as if to knit, one at a time, to right needle; insert left needle into fronts of these 2 sts and k them tog.

NOTES:

Always pick up new color from under dropped color to avoid a hole.

Color not in use can be carried up sock, taking care not to pull float too tight.
