Beginner Socks

While I've found many sock patterns on Ravelry which are more or less beginner socks, this has been the most helpful tutorial for a person who already knows: how to read patterns, and how to work with dpns (double pointed needles) or at least have a grasp of the concept (I never did until I tried it is why I put it that way).

I suggest if you have a free afternoon (or hour depending on how fast you knit), you could try these in super-small first just to prove to yourself that you can and once you get that part down, move on to a size that you (or the person you're knitting for) would actually wear.
