A slip stitch knit jig. Perfect little knit for a relaxing evening picnic or barbecue. Pour yourself a tall one and purl, slip, knit, knit, purl... Slip stitches zig-zag back and forth across the ribs of these socks, adding texture and creating splashes of color. A mini gusset ensures the short-row heel fits perfectly. Toe-up or top-down: the choice is yours!

- 1 skein Blue Moon Fiber Arts® Socks that Rock® lightweight

Notes:- Socks are worked either from the toe up or the top down.
- Toes and heels are worked in Garter stitch, with short rows. Stitches are wrapped to prevent holes at short-row turns, but wraps are not subsequently worked with the stitches that they wrap; instead, the wraps are left to blend in with the Garter stitch fabric.
