Materials:
4 oz worsted weight yarn (I
used Lyon Brand-Woolese Yarn.)
Size 6 needles (10"
ones are nice, but I used double pointed ones with stoppers on the
ends.)
Starting at the top/cuff of
sock:
Cast on 48 stitches and rib (Knit 1, Purl 1) for 7-8 inches
Bind off 12 stitches, knit 24 stitches, bind off remaining 12 stitches
and cut the yarn.
Top of foot:
Re-attach yarn and work on the remaining 24 stitches until this section
measures 6-7 inches in length (depending on foot length).
Shape toe: Decrease
by knitting two stitches together at the beginning and end of each row
until 12 stitches remain. Immediately begin increasing one stitch
at the beginning and end of each row until the stitch count is back to
24.
Bottom of foot:
continue working on the 24 stitches until this section is the same
length
as the top of the foot.
Shape Heel: Decrease
by knitting two stitches together at the beginning
and
end of each row until 12 stitches remain. Immediately
begin
increasing one stitch at the beginning and end of each row until the
stitch
count is back to 24.
Bind off.
This looks very strange but it works--trust
me! It is a sock - seam the back center of the ribbing. Sew up
the
"angles" on both heel and toe. Sew the heel to the bottom of the
ribbing and seam both sides of the foot.
- Make 2nd sock to match first.
They are really warm and cozy!
