Golf socks


May 2006

Bill asked for short socks he could wear playing golf, and he finds thin wool cooler than store-bought cotton socks. I knit this pair with 1 ball (+ about 1 metre) of Scheepjes Invicta Extra (colour 1406) on a 2.25mm circular needle. I cast on 72 sts.; did 8 rounds of k1tbl, p1 ribbing and then 6 plain rounds; did an E.O.P. heel on 36 sts.; foot on 68 sts.; dec. toe to 20 sts. and graft. And they've been golfing and were reportedly very comfortable.
