Dresser part
Answer:
KNOB
Hint:
Turn this round handle to open what holds your socks and shirts.
Explanation:
A dresser usually has drawers, and each drawer needs a way to open it. The word "knob" refers to the small round handle you turn or pull to slide a drawer out. It’s a straightforward clue—no wordplay here—just naming a common part of furniture. Think of the knobs on a chest of drawers or a wooden dresser.
