The Boulder Method by Jane Doe

Discover the ancient art of folding your socks into perfect boulders, a skill that'll make you the envy of all your friends.

Step 1: Select Your Sock Pair

Choose two socks that match, or don't. It's up to you. The world is full of rebels, after all.

Step 2: Fold the Heel

Carefully fold the heel of the sock into a tight, compact cube. Think Tetris, but with more fabric.

View the Sock Cube Optimization page for more advanced techniques.

Step 3: Add the Toe

Fold the toe of the sock into a smaller, more delicate cube. Think origami, but with more wrinkles.
