Pattern Notes
1. To ensure that socks match, work 2 socks at once.
2. Finished socks are smaller than actual fit so that they stretch to stay on the foot.
3. Work in continuous spirals and do not join rounds unless otherwise indicated.
4. Place markers as instructed and move up as each round is completed.
