WHAT YOU'LL NEED
- 2 Balls of Wool-Ease Thick & Quick (I used 175 yds for the larger size) The color I used was the "Spice Market"

- Yarn Needle for weaving in ends
- A Row Counter is always helpful, but not necessary
STITCHES YOU'LL NEED TO KNOW
Magic Ring

Slst - Slip stitch
St(s) - stitch(es)
Hdc - Half double crochet
Dc - double crochet
Fpdc - front post double crochet
Bpdc - back post double crochet
RS - right side
WS - wrong side
GAUGE
9 dc x 5 rows = 4"
FINISHED MEASUREMENT
The Small size will fit US shoe sizes 4-7.
The Large size will fit US shoe sizes 8-11.
Both sizes will fit up to a 14" calf, but if calf is larger, you can slouch them downwards towards ankle more.
NOTES
- Turn after the end of every round to keep the seam straight down the back.
- The chain at the beginning of every round does NOT count as a stitch.
- Use the instructions in parenthesis for the larger size.
- The number in parenthesis at the END of each round is the total number of stitches in that round.
