Flat knit socks boot or bed-socks..something more Robust

Now these socks have a seam underneath which some people can cope with and some can not. I needed a pair of robust socks to wear under my boots. There was no way I was using the delicious hand-painted Merino stuff in my stash lol so I used some pretty cheap acyclic yarn..if you have sock yarn such as Opel you will need 2 balls alas hence why I just used cheap acyclic after all these are designed as bed socks a pair 4mm needles, any large ball of acrylic dk yarn I used Rainbow multi by creative yarns in shade 352..looks a wee bit like a rose garden don't you think? the tension is 22 stitches by 30 rows in a 10 x 10 cm square measure from the base (back end of your heel to the top of your small toe ..this is the measurement you will need later on)
cast on 42 stitches
1st row *k2,p2* repeat to end
2nd row *p2,k2* repeat to end repeat rows 1 and 2, 2 more times (6 rows of ribbing) now ss ending on ws for 30 rows decreases for ankle and heel .. 1st row k2 together, k14, k2tog, k6, k2tog,k14, k2tog 2nd-row purl

This blanket once pressed or killed (steamed) is approximately 50 x 70 approx, of course,e you do not have to press it, this was just how it was in the sample I was sent, unpressed its about 43 x 57cm. If you want to make it bigger just add an extra 8 stitches and knit to the required length. Cast on 86 stitches. Knit in garter stitch for 6 rows. Then... Row 1, K7 *p4,k4* to last 7 stitches k7 Row 2, knit Repeat rows 1-2  Two more times (6 rows in total) Row 3, K7,K...
