Maxie's Socks (thicker v)

Enjoy a wonderfully simple yet satisfying quick knit with Maxie's Socks! These socks are knitted from the cuff down, allowing you to incorporate as many stripes and colors as you like. This pattern works well with both DK and worsted-weight yarn; however, using worsted-weight yarn will result in denser socks. If you prefer fingering or sport-weight yarn, you can download the thinner version at no additional cost by simply adding it to your cart (past purchases apply).
