Cille socks

Cille socks are a pair of simple, easy-to-knit socks, worked using the magic loop technique. If you have never knitted socks before, the Cille socks are a good place to start.

The socks are knitted from the toe up, which makes it easy to adjust the length of the leg. They are therefore also perfect as a leftover-yarn project – you avoid running out of yarn when you only have the toe of your second sock left to knit.
