Sock Recipe!
January 9, 2008 by Toni
I think I finally have a sock recipe that works for me:
Toe:
Use Turkish Cast-on with 16 wraps (32 stitches).
Round 1: Needle 1-K1, M1, knit to last stitch, M1, K1. Needle 2-K1, M1, knit to last stitch, M1, K1.
Round 2: Knit
Repeat until there are 72 stitches on the needles.
Knit until the sock measures 6 1/4 inches.
Gusset:
Round 1: Knit across Needle 1 (instep). Needle 2: K1, M1, knit to last stitch, M1, K1.
Round 2: Knit all. Repeat until there are 60 stitches on Needle 2.
Turn the Heel:
Use only Needle 2 (heel stitches).
Row1: (RS) Knit 40, kfb, k1, turn.
Row2: P24, pfb, p1, turn
Row3: K22, kfb, k1, turn
Row4: P20, pfb, p1, turn
Row5: K18 kfb, k1, turn
Row6: P16 pfb, p1, turn
Row7: K14 kfb, k1, turn
Row8: P12 pfb, p1, turn
On RS, knit to end, knit instep stitches.
Heel flap:
Work heel stitches ONLY.
Row 1: (RS) K 52, ssk, turn.
Row 2: SL1, p36, p2tog, turn.
Row3: SL1, K1 to last 2 stitches, ssk, turn
Repeat rows 2 & 3 until all stitches have been worked, end with working row 2.
Begin working in the round again. Knit 1 - 11/2 inches plain, then work K2P2 ribbing to top of sock.
Bind off in pattern: K2tog, slip stitch back to left needle, repeat using K or P where necessary.
