Knit your own Comfort Socks using these clearly-written instructions by knitwear designers Jackie E-S and Laura Andersson for HeartStrings FiberArts.
Soft comfortable socks designed with the men in your life in mind. The Comfort Socks Set presents coordinated designs for a set of socks - one pair for lounging comfort and one for everyday out-and-about wear
The At-home Comfort socks (shown to left in picture) have a dressy band of Norwegian Braid and Bohus Pearls on the leg.
The companion On-the-go Comfort socks (right) have a coordinating single Norwegian Braid.
On both socks, the comfy ribbing is carried down the foot, ending with a simple toe closure (no Kitchener stitch!)
