SUPER EASY AND FAST SPIRAL RIB SOCKS

Materials: 2 skeins Wool Ease or any worsted yarn
        4 double pointed needles, size 4
Gauge:  6 stitches to an inch in unstretched spiral ribbing

Cast on 48 stitches and join work on doubled pointed needles. Do Knit 3, Purl 3
ribbing for 4 inches. Begin next round with P1, K3 and continue in K3, P3
ribbing. Work 3 more rounds. Begin next round with P2, K3 and continue in K3,
P3
ribbing. Work in this manner, moving the rib stitches over one stitch every
four
rounds. (Don't worry about screwing this up - I've noticed that if you use dark
yarn you don't notice as much if you begin the next round one row late or
early.
) Work until sock is about 16 inches long total. Knit one round even. On
next round, K1, K2 together. Repeat these two rounds until 8 stitches remain.
Run yarn through stitches twice. Weave in yarn end. Now make another right away
or you'll be left with only one sock.
