Stardust Pattern:
Here is what the pattern looks like in its entirety from far away:

It’s not only great for socks, but would be wonderful with a scarf or even a sweater. I realize it’s difficult to actually read the chart above, so I have separated it out into five different sections for ease of viewing and printing:

 

 

 

 

 

I wanted to make some reversible slipper socks that were also really warm so I decided to try making these socks using double knitting. It was quite challenging to figure out parts of the sock using double knitting, especially the toe at the very beginning, so I recommend tackling this pattern only if you have sock experience and double knitting experience. This could be a fun pattern to try as your first double knitting project, but it could be a bit frustrating, so beware! There’s a great photo tutorial on double knitting available here. I tried my best to explain my process as a helpful guide.

Finished Measurements:
Pattern written for women’s size 8 (US) socks, but it’s easily adaptable to fit other sizes. If you want to make the foot wider or narrower, then increase or decrease until you get your size and follow the pattern chart to keep the quatrefoil looking the same.

These socks are meant to be slipper socks, so they won’t fit snug on your foot like normal socks. They’re a bit looser for around-the-house comfort.

Materials:
Size 1 double pointed needles

Instructions:
Toe Shaping
Using provisional cast on method, cast on 12 stitches of each color, making 24 stitches total on your needle. This part is really tricky and will probably require a lot of trial and error until you get the hang of it.

To have a white toe on the outside and a blue toe on the inside, start with a blue on the needle, but don’t make one blue around the string. Then, continue as normal under the provisional cast on method with the white, then the blue. Continue alternating colors and end with one white on the needle, but don’t make one white around the string. This keeps the alternating colors as you pick up the live stitches from the string.

Remove live stitches from scrap yarn and split them across two double pointed needles. Split the stitches on the other needle across two needles, having four needles in total with 6 stitches of each color per needle (12 stitches total per needle). Begin knitting in the round.

Round 1: Needle 1 – K1 W, P1 B, K1 W, P1 B, K Inc W, P Inc B, *K1 W, P1 B,* repeat from * to * until end of needle.
          Needle 2 – *K1 W, P1 B,* repeat from * to * until last 4 sts, K Inc W, P Inc B, K1 W, P1 B, K1 W, P1 B.
          Needle 3 – K1 W, P1 B, K1 W, P1 B, K Inc W, P Inc B, *K1 W, P1 B,* repeat from * to * until end of needle.
          Needle 4 – *K1 W, P1 B,* repeat from * to * until last 4 sts, K Inc W, P Inc B, K1 W, P1 B, K1 W, P1 B.

Rounds 2-5: Repeat Round 1.
Round 6: *K1 W, P1 B,* repeat from * to * until end.
Round 7: Repeat Round 1.
Round 8: Repeat Round 6.
Round 9: Repeat Round 1.
Round 10: Repeat Round 6.
Round 11: Repeat Round 1.
Rounds 12-13: Repeat Round 6.
Round 14: Repeat Round 1.
Rounds 15-16: Repeat Round 6.
Round 17: Repeat Round 1.
Rounds 18-20: Repeat Round 6.
Round 21: Repeat Round 1.
Rounds 22-25: Repeat Round 6. (136 stitches total, 68 sts in each color)

Foot:
Change your yarn so the main color on the outside is blue with white as a contrast color, making the inside with a white main color and blue contrast color. Work the pattern based on the quatrefoil chart below:

Work until you have three quatrefoil rows on the foot, or until the sock is the length from the toe to the bend of your ankle at the top of your foot.

Heel Flap:
Turn so WS is facing and Work Needles 3 and 4 ONLY

Begin working in the round again. 

Row 45: work across heel flap, pick up 12 white stitches from the outside (blue) and 12 stitches from the inside (white), alternating in the same manner as you have been, and K the blue sts and P the white sts. Work in the quatrefoil pattern across the next 2 needles. Pick up and work 12 white stitches and 12 blue stitches in the same manner across the other side of the heel flap. On the same needle, split the heel flap sts evenly between the needles with the picked up heel flap sts, working 18 sts on one needle and 18 sts on the other.

Gusset Shaping:

Repeat Round 46 and Round 47 until there are 34 sts per needle.

Ankle:

Continue working the Quatrefoil pattern across all needles until you reach approximately an inch less than your desired length. I worked two quatrefoil rows above the heel.

Ribbing:
Ribbing with double knitting can be tricky because you need to change where you hold the yarn for each stitch differently than you have been doing. Work these same repeating four sts across the round for as many rounds until you reach your desired length, approximately one inch:
With both yarns at the back, K1 W
With W yarn at the front and B yarn at the back, K1 B
With W yarn at the front and B yarn at the back, P1 W
With both yarns at the front, P1 B

Bind off using the Icelandic Bind-Off for a stretchy finish. Video tutorial available here.

Jazz up your basic ribbed socks by adding a bit of cabling.

Finished Measurements:
Pattern written for women’s size 8 (US) socks, but it’s easily adaptable to fit other sizes. If you want to make the foot wider or narrower, then increase until you have a multiple of 3 sts plus 2.

Materials:
Size 1 double pointed needles
2 skeins Sensations Soles & More in Green/Blue
Cable hook, or if you’re feeling adventurous, I recommend watching this video to learn how to cable without the hook. It’s really convenient for knitting on the go with limited supplies, especially with this pattern where you’re only holding one stitch to the front or back.

Begin working in the round again.

Round 27: Still using CC, pick up and K 12 sts along first side of the heel. Switch to MC and work in pattern across the two needles left unworked during the heel flap. Pick up and K 12 sts along second side of the heel. On the same needle, K 8 sts from the heel flap, splitting the sts from the heel flap between the two needles with the picked up sts. This is now the start of the round.

These entrelac toe up socks alternate using stockinette stitch and seed stitch. This pattern assumes you have a basic knowledge of how knitting entrelac works. I do not recommend you try this as your first attempt at entrelac because the heel especially can be a bit fiddly and confusing. Here is a helpful article that explains entrelac knitting with pictures.

Finished Measurements:
Comfortably fits a Size 8 women’s foot, though it can easily be adapted to fit other sizes.

Materials:
2 skeins Patons Kroy Sock Yarn in Rusty Stripes
Size 1 double pointed needles
Scrap yarn

Yarn Substitute: Stroll

Stitches:
K – knit
P – purl
Sl – slip unworked stitch from left needle to right needle
SSK – slip unworked stitch from left needle to right needle knitwise. Slip a second unworked stitch from the left needle to the right needle knitwise. Slip those two unworked stitches separately back to the left needle purlwise. Knit those two stitches together in the back of the stitches (decrease).
K2tog – knit two stitches together (decrease).
Inc – knit into the front and back of the same stitch (increase).
St – stitch
RS – right side
WS – wrong side

Instructions:
Toe Shaping
Using provisional cast on method, cast on 16 stitches
Row 1: P across
Row 2: K across
Row 3: P across
Row 4: K across

Remove live stitches from scrap yarn and place them on a double pointed needle. K across 16 sts from the scrap yarn. Distribute 32 sts evenly along four needles, with 8 sts on each needle. Begin knitting in the round.

Rounds 5-6: K across
Round 7: Needle 1 – K2, Inc, K across needle
          Needle 2 – K across needle to last 3 sts, Inc, K2
          Needle 3 – K2, Inc, K across needle
          Needle 4 – K across needle to last 3 sts, Inc, K2

Rounds 8-9: K across
Round 10: Repeat Round 7 (40 sts total)

Entrelac
Begin working entrelac. Each triangle section is made out of 8 sts and there are 5 triangle sections in total per row (8 sts X 5 triangles = 40 sts. Yay math).

To make the foundation triangles:
Row 1: K2, turn.
Row 2: P2, turn.
Row 3: K3, turn.
Row 4: P3, turn.

Continue in this manner, adding a stitch on each K row, until you have K 8 sts total. Do not P across the 8 sts and do not turn. Rather, start with Row 1 again. Continue across until all 40 sts have been worked to make 5 triangle sections.

To make the next row of seed stitch triangles, with RS facing, pick up 8 sts along the section immediately to the left of the section just worked and work the following:
Row 5: *K1, P1.* Repeat from * to * until end, turn.
Row 6: *P1, K1.* Repeat from * to * until last st, SSK (using the last st in the row and the next st of the prior section, combining the triangles).
Repeat Rows 5-6 until all of the sts have been worked on the triangle. To make a new triangle, pick up sts from the previous row triangle to the right.
Continue in this manner until all triangles are worked.

To make the next row of stockinette stitch triangles, with WS facing, pick up and P 8 sts along the section immediately to the left of the section just worked.
Row 7: K across until the last st, SSK (using the last st in the row and the next st of the prior section, combining the triangles).
Row 8: P across.
Repeat Rows 7-8 until all of the sts have been worked on the triangle, being sure to end on a Row 7.
Continue in this manner until all triangles are worked.

Continue making rows, alternating between a garter stitch row and a stockinette stitch row. For a size 8 women’s foot, work 7 rows of triangles total, not including the foundation triangles. You can adjust the rows based on your foot size.

Heel
To make the heel, work only two triangles in each row before turning and starting a new row. Be sure to end the row with either Row 6 or Row 8 (depending on whether you are working the seed stitch or stockinette stitch triangle). Also, when starting a new row, you are attaching to the triangle from a few rows ago to make the heel turn. This means you’ll have a seed stitch triangle attaching to another seed stitch triangle on the turning row.

Work 4 rows of the heel.

Ankle
Once you finished the heel, continue working in the round as normal.
Work 6 rows of triangle, or until you reach approximately 2 inches less than your desired length.

To make the end foundation triangles, pick up 9 sts when starting a new triangle.
Row 9: K2tog, K across until last st, SSK (using the last st in the row and the next st of the prior section, combining the triangles).
Row 10: P across.

Repeat Rows 9 and 10 until you have 2 sts left on the current triangle and 1 st left on the triangle you’re combining it with. K2tog, pass the stitch just worked back onto the left needle, SSK (using the last st in the row and the next st of the prior section, combining the triangles).

This leaves one st remaining. Use this st as the additional st and pick up 8 sts along the next triangle. 
Continue in this manner until you have worked all triangles and only have one st remaining.

Edging
Pick up 60 sts evenly across the edge of the sock to make the brim.
Round 1: *K3, P1.* Repeat from * to * until end.
Repeat Round 1 for 1 1/2 inches, or until you reach your desired length.
