I blister easily and it took me several tries to find a sock that helped.
In my experience I blister more easily than nearly everyone I've met. Hopefully you won't have such problems!
Out here in California, I worry more about heat than cold, so I have more experience keeping my feet cool and dry than warm and dry.
The theory of one thin, one thick sock is that any rubbing of layers from the action of walking will happen between sock and sock rather than sock and skin.
My feet get hot and sweaty very easily (even in our "winter" (water rarely freezes)). Sweat = damp skin = more blisters (at least for me).
I wear one pair of coolmax socks rather than doubling my socks and I've gone to injinji socks that have separate toes built right in. I don't know how widely they are available outside the US, but they are the best solution for me so far.
I also tape my feet with sports tape on the places where I blister - sock rubs on tape rather than my feet. I learned to tape my feet from a book called Fixing your Feet.
Happy walking!
