StitchSaver™ Row Checker
"It is hard to make a mistake with our unique complimentary Row Checker. It helps you keep track of stitch count row-by-row for each section of the pattern, plus all increase and decrease shaping. With check off boxes for each row you can put this project aside for a week, a month or a year and return to the exact spot where you stopped."

Pattern
Socks are fun to knit, and the pop of color at the tip of these socks make them fun to wear as well. Light yet durable, they are made with high quality yarn for long-time wear, while the ribbed leg design gives them a fit that is comfortable yet snug. Socks that are so playful he or she will want to kick off their shoes, but so pleasant they’ll keep their socks on! This sock is knit from the top down to the toe and the heel is shaped using short-rows. As a bonus, the knitting pattern is written with the option of making the traditional mid-calf length or short ankle socks. Get out your needles and start smiling.
