Description

If you need the perfect gift for your guy, try this pair. It’s not fussy, but it’ll be fun for you to knit. The same easy stitch pattern appears on both socks and scarf, but the use of different yarn weights for each piece produces different results. The socks are knit from the cuff down to the reinforced round heel and on to the grafted toe.
