Socks made from 6-ply sock yarn are a bit thicker – and therefore warmer, too – and above all quicker to knit than socks made from 4-ply yarn. They are usually preferred as house and bed socks, hut slippers, or also for hiking in mountain boots. Men love socks like these in work shoes.
This is basically a
sock-knitting tutorial, shown in detail with pictures using children's socks in size 32/33.
All other sizes can be knitted according to the corresponding
chart information for 6-ply sock yarn .
