My dad?s feet get cold, and his circulation?s not so great, so I wanted to knit him some thick warm socks to wear around the house.These are sumptuous, supremely cozy & gorgeous, especially when knit in a luxurious alpaca/merino tweedy blend.Options abound: you can knit these in a single color or do a contrasting color for the heel flap & toe; you can knit the cabled heart heel flaps or plain heel flaps, either in a single or contrasting color.Despite all the details ? mirrored cables, honeycomb cables, ribbed gussets, patterned heel flap ? these knit up amazingly fast.Cuff down.
Sizing is for men?s medium, to fit men?s size 9-10. Make socks longer or shorter as needed.
Needles:
Size 5 (3.75mm): DPNs, 2 circulars, or 1 32" circular for Magic Loop
