Socks!



Another vintage pattern from the American Thread Company -
One Size fits All (well, so they say. But use your own judgement and alter the length of the sock for the height of the “all” that you’re making them for. You could end up with crocheted hip waders)

Plastic crochet hook size J, or size you need to obtain the specified stitch gauge.
