My younger daughter found a knitting pattern that she thought would be good for using up my many left over bits of wool. The pattern is very quick and simple to make. I was going to title the post “Thong Socks” but then thought of the meanings of the word “thong”.
The thong the knitting pattern refers to is the type of open shoe with a strap that goes between the big toe and the toe next to it.
I am not quite sure why you would need thong socks but nevertheless I knitted up the pattern.
Maybe thong socks will be the next big fashion trend. There is a whole Pinterest section on this type of sock.

I reckon they are a good idea. I can’t wear that sort of sandal because they give me a sore toe, but ,maybe with a sock they would be ok.
I’m like you, they give me a sore toe too.
