*Socks are crocheted in one flat piece and sewn together
*Ch 2 at beg of rows does not count as a stitch, unless otherwise indicated
*Row numbering restarts with each different section, so to help with counting rows, you may
want to use stitch markers (different than the ones you use to mark the indicated rows) or scrap
yarn to mark the beginning of each section.

*Bobble st (bob) is always worked on the Wrong Side
