CLUE #4
Mystery sock for the Sock Knitters Anonymous, March 2012
DO YOU LOVE LONG SOCKS/STOCKINGS?
You can make the leg longer by knitting chart 3 twice or four times more. For aesthetics work an odd number of the trellis diamonds. To accommodate for your calves you may need to use a larger needle. Please note SKA knitters: This is a suggestion which alters my design, not a modification for fit!
cuff:
The cuff is 20 rounds long. Needle 1: Back of leg: continue in ktbl/p ribbing. Needle 2: Front of leg: work according chart 4.
bind off:
Bind off the stitches in pattern and very loosely, so it will have a enough stretch. An easy way with good results is to use a traditional bind-off with a thick needle, such as 5mm (US #8). The result looks a bit untidy when the sock is relaxed, but is comfortably roomy while wearing. Jeny's Surprisingly Stretchy Bind Off (JSSBO) is a very good and stretchy alternative.

finishing:
Weave in the ends. Give your socks a gentle soak and block them nicely. Enjoy the result - and don't forget to knit the second sock!
