SOCKS
With MC and dpns, cast on 16 (20, 24) sts; divide sts evenly on as evenly as possible onto 3 dpns, as follows:
For Children's M, put 5 sts onto the first dpn, 5 sts onto the second dpn and 6 sts onto the third dpn.
For Adult's M, put 7 sts onto the first dpn, 7 sts onto the second dpn and 6 sts onto the third dpn.
For Adult's L, put 8 sts onto each of the three dpn.
Note: When knitting in the round on dpn, your sts do need to be divided fairly evenly onto the needles. If you are working with a set of 4 dpn, your sts should be divided among 3 needles. If you are working with a set of 5 dpn, your sts should be divided among 4 needles. The total number of sts will not always be evenly divisible by the number of dpns that you are using – this is not a problem! Simply divide your sts as evenly as possible, you will still create a symmetrical ‘tube’ of knitting.

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.

These are the BEST!!!! Like many of the previous reviews, I have made many and in all colors. My 4 year old grandson begged me to make them for him, so I have made from 4 to 90 year olds (my mom, who also begged for them). Men and women, love them. If you want something fun, yummy and to top off EASY....Well, make these!!!
