NOTES

Sometimes my “wearing habits” are different than my making habits. I love knitting socks, but for a long time I refused to knit ankle socks. I just didn’t see the point. After making one pair; however, I realized that they quickly became my most worn pair. Sometimes my feet get cold, but I don’t want a lot of fabric up my leg. Enter ankle length socks.

Ravelry Notes

Classic, Timeless Hat; Handspun friendly
