Knitting one sock is fun and rewarding, but finishing its partner can become a chore that leaves well-intentioned knitters suffering from "second sock syndrome." With this two-at-a-time technique you can easily finish a full pair of socks on the same day. Step-by-step photographs illustrate how to cast on and knit two socks together on one long circular needle, whatever the pattern or shape. Lonely, abandoned single socks are now a thing of the past!

Add a CommentI like the instructions in her later book. It is a tough workthrough to get started on the two at a time socks. Use the Magic Loop method. Great to be able to do a pair at a time. No chance of leaving one sock unfinished.
I am about to try this one to make ankle warmers two at a time, maybe mitts.
I like Morgan-Oakes' other book, "Toe-Up" 2at a Time Socks. Once i was able to get the fussy cast-on, took a couple of tries, the socks were great, and we could try them on for fit while I was knitting, so I was able to adjust width, etc. Plus, I didn't run out of yarn while i was still doing the feet.
I tried 3 times to figure out how to do this. I found the instructions confusing and the technique awkward (bending your circulars in half - really???). I couldn't get past the cast-on stage.
BTW, I am a long time knitter (over 20 years) so I thought this would be easy.
