Materials:
- 100
Grams of Sock Yarn (I used KnitPicks Stroll Brights in Pucker ( 75%
Superwash Merino Wool, 25% Nylon)
US #1/2.5mm circular needles or double-pointed needles (I do the double-pointed thing only because I have been knitting socks forever and am pretty fast on my DPNs. However use any method that you are comfortable with.) - Stitch
marker
- Yarn needle
Knitting Gauge: 7 - 8 sts =
1"
SIZE One size will fit an average adult foot.
Cast on 28
stitches, using your favorite cast on method for socks. I use the magic cast-on
because the tip of the toe looks so flawless.
You can watch this method on YouTube. There are several demonstrations,
such as: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qehzpuC9mxc
Round 1: Knit.
Round 2: On needle 1, knit 1, knit in the
front and back of the next stitch. Knit to the last two stitches on the needle.
Knit in the front and back of the next stitch, knit 1. Repeat on needle 2.
Round 3: Knit. If using DPNs, knit the
stitches on Needle 1. Knit 8 stitches on
Needle 2. Add a third needle and knit the remaining 8 stitches.
Round 4: If using DPNs, on Needle 1, knit 2,
m1R, knit across to last 2 stitches. M1L, K2. On needle 2, knit 2, m1R, knit
across. On needle 3, knit across to last 2 stitches. M1L, K2.
If using circular
needles, k2, m1R, k across needle, until 2 stitches remain, m1L, k2. Repeat on
second needle.
Repeat rounds 3 and
4 until you have a total of 24 stitches on Needle 1.
Next Round: K2, place marker. Knit to last two stitches, place marker, K2. Knit the rest of the round.
Next Round: K2, place marker. Knit to last two stitches, place marker, K2. Knit the rest of the round.

M1L, K2.
Continue these two
rounds, increasing 1 stitch on each side until you have a total of
60 stitches total. Working these 60 stitches, continue the lace pattern until
the measurement from the toe is 2½” less than the total length of your foot.
Gusset:
While continuing
the lace pattern, knit across instep stitches, and then increase one stitch on each
side on the sole stitches. Increase stitches every other row until you have
increased 10 stitches on each
side of the sole.
Turn the Heel:
You will now work
only on the sole part of the sock, leaving the instep stitches with the lace
panel along for now. Begin on a knit side.
Row 1: Slip the first stitch, k 8. *K1,
sl1 purlwise* five times, SSK, k1, turn.
Row 2: Slip the first stitch, p10, p2tog,
p1, turn.
Row 3: Slip 1, k1, *k1, sl1 purlwise* 5
times , SSK, k1, turn.
Row 4: Slip 1, p12, p2tog, p1, turn.
Row 5: Slip 1, k1, *k1, sl1 purlwise*,
6 times, SSK, k1, turn.
Row 7: Slip 1, k1, *k1, sl1 purlwise* 7
times, SSK, k1, turn
Row 8: Slip 1, p 16, p2tog, p1, turn
Row 9: Slip 1, k1, *k1, s1 purlwise* 8
times, SSK, k1, turn
Row 10: Slip 1, p18, p2tog, p1, turn
Continue in this
manner, working back and forth until all of the extra stitches from the gusset
increases are worked and the original number of stitches are on your needle
again.
Leg:
You should be back
to 60 stitches. Continue working the sock with the lace panel until it is 3 inches
shorter than the total desired length.
Cuff:
Next Round: K1, P1, K1, P1, K1. Work lace
panel. K1, P1 to end of the round.
Continue the 1x1
ribbing and the lace panel for 2½”.
Next Round: Work 1x1 ribbing over the lace
panel (to prevent curling). Continue the 1x1 ribbing for 1/2 inch.
Bind off loosely.
Weave in the ends,
and then block the socks as you normally would (I just put the socks on my feet and enjoy them! My feet are the best blocking equipment I have.)
