Socks made from 6-ply sock yarn are a bit thicker – and therefore warmer – and, most importantly, quicker to knit than socks made from 4-ply yarn. They are popular as house and bed socks, hut slippers, or for hiking in mountain boots. Men love socks like these in work boots.
This is basically a
sock-knitting tutorial, shown in detail with photos 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 .
