Simple Ankle Socks

I finished "Emma's Mitten's". They were actually very easy to do! They tell you to do the cable pattern for a total of five times before doing the thumb. I did the cable pattern only four times, because I thought five times would've been too long for my liking. Then I did the rest of the pattern as normal. They turned out very well and I'm planning on making another pair. I also want to make the "Snapdragon Mittens" by Ysolda. I've been wanting to knit them for awhile now. So this past week, I decided that I wanted to make a pair of simple ankle socks. I've made them before. It only took me two days to knit them. I casted on 52 stitches but it was a little tight so if you have bigger ankles, I would recommend casting on more stitches. I did a 2X2 rib for 7 rows. I know that it's such a weird number of rounds, but it just seemed like the perfect amount for me. After I knitted the rib rounds, I knitted for three rounds and then went straight to the heel. I usually like to do the heel flap types of heel, because I don't like the wrap and turns, and I don't really remember how to do it anymore. I knitted the rest of the sock how a normal sock is knitted. It's very simple. I don't know what to knit next! My boyfriend asked me to make him a hat and pair of mittens, but I haven't been able to find a decent pattern for male mittens. I'll keep looking. I'll keep looking for patterns for myself too!
