Sockies
Lion Brand® Tweed Stripes®
GAUGE: 16 sts = about 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) Slip next 2 sts as if to knit, one at a time, to right needle; insert left needle into fronts of these 2 sts and knit them tog - 1 st decreased.
STITCH PATTERN
K2, p2 Rib worked in the rnd (multiple of 4 sts)
Rnd 1: *K2, p2; rep from * to end of rnd.
Rep Rnd 1 for K2, p2 Rib worked in the rnd. |
NOTES: 1. Socks are worked from top edge down to toe.
2. Sts for the heel are worked back and forth in rows (just like working on straight knitting needles). Short rows are worked to shape the heel. Short rows are simply rows worked over just a portion of the sts.
3. The toes are grafted closed, which is explained step by step in this pattern. If you prefer, you can simply sew the toes closed, but your Sockies will be more comfortable if you graft the sts.

With yarn tail, graft toe.
How to Graft Toe
Holding the 2 needles parallel with WS of fabric together, thread a large-eyed blunt needle with the yarn tail and work as follows:
Insert the needle as if to purl into first stitch on front needle and pull the yarn through. Leave the st on the front needle. Insert the needle as if to knit into first stitch on back needle and pull the yarn through. Leave the st on the back needle.
Now follow steps 1-4 below.
1) Insert needle as if to knit through first st on front needle, pull the yarn through, then let the st drop from needle.
2) Insert needle into next st on front needle as if to purl and pull the yarn through, leaving st on needle.
3) Insert needle into first st on back needle as if to purl, pull the yarn through, then let the st drop from needle.
4) Insert needle as if to knit through next st on back needle and pull the yarn through, leaving st on needle.
Rep steps 1-4 until all sts have been grafted together.
When finished, adjust tension as necessary.

| Loved this sock pattern - was fast & easy with larger needles (I used 9 dbl points) and worsted wt yarn. Would like to make some for my granddaughters 7 & 4 years. Can anyone help me cut the size down for a child with worsted yarn & large needles? Thanks. Bev
