Chart

Socks

Using Judy’s Magic Cast-On, CO 17 sts on each needle, pm and join in the round: Knit one round.

Rnd 1: Kfb, k to 1 st before end, kfb. Repeat on second needle.

Rnd 2: Knit.

Repeat both rounds until you have 35 sts on each needle.

From now work Chart on first needle only, this is your instep, and knit sts on the second one, this is your sole.

Repeat rnds 1-12 until 1.5’’ before heel, ending after having worked the first needle. Mark your last round worked in pattern, because you have to continue the repetitions after heel. Leave the sts of first needle on hold and work heel instructions on second one only.

Heel

Row 1 (RS): K to one st rem, W&T

Row 2: P to one st rem, W&T

Row 3: K to 1 st before last wrapped st, W&T

Row 4: P to 1 st before last wrapped st, W&T

Repeat rnds 3-4 until you have 17 live sts between wrapped sts. You will be ready to start a RS rnd.

Row 5 (RS): K to 1st wrapped st, pick up and k wrapped st, W&T

Row 6: Sl1, p to 1st wrapped st, pick up and p wrapped st, W&T

Row 7: Sl1, k to 1st double wrapped st, pick up and k double wrapped st, W&T

Row 8: Sl1, p to 1st double wrapped st, pick up and p double wrapped st, W&T

Repeat rows 7-8 until one double wrapped st remains at each end of work.

Row 9 (RS): Sl1, k to double wrapped st, k double wrapped st. DO NOT TURN WORK

 

Pattern resumes at the same rnd where you left off before the heel.

Continue working Chart on both needles until your sock measures 6’’/15cm from the end of heel.

Work ribbing pattern for 10 rnds total: *k1, p1*.

BO using Stretchy Bind Off {read our tutorial on the Decrease Bind Off}, weave in ends and block it. Repeat for the second sock and enjoy your new pair of socks
