Father's Day Socks
Lion Brand® Sock-EaseTM
GAUGE: 28 sts + 40 rows = 4 in. (10 cm) in St st worked in the rnd (k every rnd). BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.
STITCH EXPLANATION: ssk (slip, slip, knit): Sl the next 2 sts as if to k, one at a time, to right needle. Insert left needle into fronts of these 2 sts and k them tog.
PATTERN STITCHES
K1, p1 Rib (worked in the rnd over an even number of sts)
Rnd 1: *K1, p1, rep from * around.
Rep Rnd 1 for K1, p1 Rib worked in the rnd.
K3, p1 Rib (worked in the rnd over an even number of sts)
Rnd 1: *K3, p1, rep from * around.
Rep Rnd 1 for K3, p1 Rib worked in the rnd.
Grafting
Holding the 2 needles parallel with wrong sides of fabric together, thread a blunt needle with yarn end and work as follows: Insert needle as if to purl into the first stitch on front piece. Insert needle as if to knit into the first stitch on the back piece. Then follow steps 1-4 below.
1) Insert needle as if to knit through the first st on the front needle and let the st drop from the needle.
2) Insert needle into the second st on the front needle as if to purl and pull the yarn through, leaving the st on the needle.
3) Insert needle into the first st on the back needle as if to purl and let the st drop from the needle, then
4) Insert needle as if to knit through the second st on the back needle and pull the yarn through, leaving the st on the needle.
Rep 1-4 until all sts have been grafted. When finished, adjust tension as necessary. |
