I have 2 little leftover balls of plain black that together make 20g, which is perfect for toes/cuffs on another pair! Win.

They are definitely way less complicated than they look.
But they are also a very polarizing project. Seems like people either LOVE or HATE sock knitting. :laughing:

Are you a DPN or a Magic Loop knitter? I find DPNs fiddly, but have never tried the magic loop on anything.

Anything yarn is my Kryptonite, so all I can go on is word of mouth, and I heard that socks are hard. These look fantastic. Love the colors you chose.

No, no. Socks are not hard. If you have never worked in the round before, you may want to try a hat first, but other than that it’s just knitting and some decreases, and picking up stitches for the heel. There are worsted weight yarn sock patterns, which are great for first time sock knitters. Bigger stitches to see, and they go faster.
