Materials:
Double Knitting or Sport Weight Yarn - 100g of Main Colour (Yarn A) and 100g of Contrast Colour
(Yarn B)
Set of 3.75mm or 4mm DPN's / US size 5 and 6
Gauge / Tension:
6 1/2 stitches to 1" measured over Stocking (Stockinette) Stitch using 3.75mm needles
6 stitches to 1" measured over Stocking (Stockinette) Stitch using 4mm needles
Size:
Fits foot circumference 8" - 8 1/2" - foot length is adjustable.
Chart Instructions:
I recommend using an elastic method of cast-on, e.g., long-tail or continental, to ensure that the cuff
fits properly and not tightly - especially important if using 100% acrylic yarn (which often doesn't have
much 'give' to it).
Divide stitches between 4 needles, 12 on each, and place marker (if using) and join for working in
the round - be careful not to twist stitches.
Rib:
[K2, P2] to end for 14 rounds - 2" / 5 cm.
Leg:
Change to 4mm needles and join in Yarn B. Using both yarns, you are now ready to commence
chart pattern for respective sock.
Work 3 repeats of the chart (36 rows), plus, work row 1 again (to finish). Your sock should now
measure approximately 19 cm. Drop Yarn B, cut the yarn - ready to weave in later. Now using Yarn
A only, knit 1 round.
Heel Flap:
Change back to 3.75mm needles, knit across 12 stitches on N1, then turn work, and purl back along
24 stitches (on N1 and N4) - placing them on one needle - 24 stitches are now at the back of the leg.
The remaining 24 stitches will be worked later for the sock instep (foot).
Repeat rows 1 and 2 until you have worked a total of 24 rows for the heel flap.
Turn Heel:
Row 1: (RS) Knit across 14 stitches, SSK, K1, turn work;
Row 2: (WS) Slip 1 Purl wise, P5, P2 tog, P1, turn;
Row 3: Slip 1, Knit to the 1st stitch before the gap made by the last row, SSK, K1, turn;
Row 4: Slip 1, Purl to the 1st stitch before the gap made by the last row, P2 tog, P1, turn.
Repeat rows 3 & 4 until all the stitches have been worked, and finishing on a wrong side row, so that
you are ready to start work on a right side row next (14 stitches remain).
Gusset:
Knit 7 (and place marker if using to indicate the centre of heel), using a new needle, N1, knit
remaining 7 stitches and pick up 13 stitches along the side of heel flap, knit across stitches on N2
and N3, then using a new needle, N4, pick up 13 stitches along the other side of heel flap and knit
remaining 7 stitches to the beginning of the round. You should now have 64 stitches.
Repeat rounds 1 and 2 until 48 stitches remain - there should be 12 stitches on each needle.
Foot:
Continue working even rounds (no decreases) until your sock measures 6 cm / 2 3/8" less than
desired foot length.
Toe:
Round 1: (Decrease round) Knit to the last 3 stitches on N1, K2 tog, K1; N2, K1, SSK, knit to end;
N3, knit to last 3 stitches, K2 tog, K1; N4, K1, SSK, knit to end (4 stitches decreased).
Round 2: Knit all stitches.
Repeat rounds 1 & 2 until 24 stitches remain, then, continue with round 1 only until 8 stitches remain.
Rearrange needles so that there are 4 stitches on each of 2 needles, ready for grafting, as follows:
Knit 6 stitches (finishing at the end of N3) - rearrange stitches so that the first and last stitches of the
round (N1 & N4) are on one needle, with the remaining 4 stitches (on N2 & N3) are on another
needle.
You are now ready to graft the toe using Kitchener Stitch.
Happy Knitting :)
