PATTERN REPEAT

Staggered Pattern:

Rounds 1-6: *K1, P1*

Round 7: K across

Rounds 8-13: *P1, K1*

Round 14: K across

INSTRUCTIONS

Toe Shaping:
Use the provisional cast on method to cast on 12 stitches

Row 2: Purl across
Row 3: Knit across
Row 4: Purl across

Remove live stitches from scrap yarn and place them on a double pointed needle. You should have 24 sts on two needles. Begin knitting in the round.

Round 5: *K2, Inc, K4 (add a needle) K4, Inc, K2.* Repeat from * to *
Round 6: 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

Repeat Round 6 until you have 36 (40, 44) sts total, or 9 (10, 11) sts per needle

Round 7: K across
Round 8: 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

Repeat Rounds 7-8 until you have 48 (52, 56) sts total, 12 (13, 14) sts per needle

Rounds 9-10: K across
Round 11: 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

Repeat Rounds 9-11 until you have 60 (64, 68) sts total, 15 (16, 17) sts per needle

Foot:
Round 12: Needle 1 – work Staggered Pattern
    Needle 2 – work Staggered Pattern
    Needle 3 – K across
    Needle 4 – K across

Repeat Round 12 until the sock fits from your toes to the bend in the top of your foot where your ankle starts. 

Heel Flap:
Turn and work only across Needles 3 and 4 only (worked flat), leaving Needles 1 and 2 unworked. 

Row 13: Sl1, P across, turn
Row 14: Sl 1, K1, *Sl1 as if to purl, K1,* turn

Repeat Rows 13 and 14 for a total of 24 rows.

Heel Shaping:
Row 15 (WS): Sl1 WYIF, P15 (16, 17), P2tog, P1, turn (leave remaining sts unworked) 
Row 16 (RS): Sl1 WYIB, K3, SSK, K1, turn (leave remaining sts unworked) 
Row 17 (WS): Sl1 WYIF, P4, P2tog, P1, turn (leave remaining sts unworked)  
Row 18 (RS): Sl1 WYIB, K5, SSK, K1, turn (leave remaining sts unworked) 

Continue working the heel flap in this manner, working an additional stitch before the decrease stitch in each row. In other words, work until 1 st before the “gap” that gets created from the decrease stitch in the previous row before you work the decrease in this row. Continue in this manner until you end working a RS row and you have worked a decrease over all of the gaps. You should have 16 (18, 20) sts on your needle. Note: for the Small and Large sizes, you will not work a P1 at the end of the last WS row or a K1 at the end of the last RS row.

Gusset Shaping: (decrease)

Round 19: Begin working in the round again. Split the heel flap sts across two needles so you have 8 (9, 10) sts per needle. The space between these two heel flap needles now becomes the BOR. With the second heel flap needle (this needle now becomes Needle 1), pick up and K 12 sts along heel flap edge. Work across the next two needles (now Needles 2 and 3) in the Staggered Pattern. Using Needle 4, pick up and K 12 sts along the other heel flap edge, then K across remaining sts on Needle 4 until BOR.

Round 20: Needle 1 – Work Staggered Pattern across 15 (16, 17) sts, K to last 2 sts, K2tog 
    Needles 2-3 – Work Staggered Pattern
    Needle 4 – SSK, K until 15 (16, 17) sts remain, work Staggered Pattern across remaining sts

Round 21: Needle 1 – Work Staggered Pattern across 15 (16, 17) sts, K to end
    Needles 2-3 – Work Staggered Pattern
    Needle 4 – K until 15 (16, 17) sts remain, work Staggered Pattern across remaining sts

Repeat Rounds 20 and 21 until you have 15 (16, 17) sts per needle.

Ankle:
Round 37: Work Staggered Pattern across all needles until you reach desired length, being sure to end on a Round 6 or Round 13 of the Staggered Pattern.

Bind off using Icelandic Bind Off (video tutorial available here).

Repeat pattern for second sock.

Pattern Notes:

Stitches that appear between * and * should be worked until the end, unless otherwise indicated.

These socks are worked from the toe-up and the length can be easily adjusted to fit the average woman’s foot.

When working the gusset shaping, be sure to continue the Stripe Pattern from one needle to the next so it matches after the gusset decreases. The sts that will be decreased along the gusset shaping are worked in CC 2 only to make the color work flow nicely with the decreases.

Stitch counts are indicated for each size based on the following size order: Women’s Size 6 and under (7-9, 10 and over)

Each square in the Colorwork Charts represents one stitch, meaning each line represents a new round. Repeat the Colorwork Charts indicated for all stitches on the needle(s), working the chart from the bottom right to the top left. If the stitches on needle end in the middle of working a repeat, then end in the middle of the repeat, but be sure to always start working the Colorwork Chart with the first left cell.

COMPONENTS

Materials:

100 (114, 130) yards of fingering weight yarn in gray (MC)

80 (92, 110)  yards of fingering weight yarn in yellow (CC 1)

80 (92, 110)  yards of fingering weight yarn in purple (CC 2)
