Socks are knit in one piece from cuff to toe.
Socks may be worked on either 3 dpns (knitting with a 4th) or 4 dpns (knitting with a 5th).
When instructed to slip sts, slip them purlwise, except when working SSK (see Special Stitches)
Special Stitches:
SSK (slip slip knit): slip 2 sts from left needle, one at a time knitwise, then insert tip of left needle through front of these 2 sts from left to right and knit them together from this position.
K2tog (knit two together): knit two stitches together as one (decrease completed)
P2tog (purl two together): purl two stitches together as one (decrease completed)
