Cut 2 rectangles 3 1/2" wide x 7 "long from T-shirt ribbing

Fold each sock piece in half lengthwise meeting 7" cut edges.

Mark a point 2" from one end of the folded sock and sew cut edges up to the
2" point.  Be sure to backstitch, then clip seam allowance to stitching line
at the stopping point. This is the top of the sock.

Turn the sock inside out and sew from the clip to the bottom.  You will have
a seam on the right side & wrong side of the sock.  This short section is the
bottom of the sock.

Sew across the bottom of the sock & trim to 1/8".  Turn sock right side out.  
When you roll the sock down it will hide the seam on the outside of the sock.

Ribbing is cheap & these are fast to make once you get past your first pair.
