A SimPLe BalanCEd rib, WIth A SeCOnd teXture OPTION FOR THE GUY WHO LIKES THINGS THAT ARE Useful, not thinGs that Are fanCy. (LAdIES MAY ENJOY IT TOO.) And of course you, Gentle Knitter - I know you like A NICE EASY KNIT EVERY NOW AND AGAIN.
You will need:
Approximately 400m / 100g of sock/fingering weight yarn. I used a solid for the cuffs/heels/toes but you don't have to. Since it is a simple ribbed pattern you can go as wild as you like with variegated yarn. Yarn used in photos is Kroy Sock in Gentry Gray (solid gray) and Lion Brand Sock Ease in Taffy (variegated) Set of 5 - 2.25mm needles (US size 1) Darning needle Note: Instructions are given for DPNs, but if you are using Magic Loop just place a stitch marker after every 16(17, 18) sts. If using two circs put the instep sts on one needle and the sole sts on the other, and use a st marker to mark the half way point on each. Gauge: 8 stitches per inch Size: This pattern includes three sizes: 64 sts, 68 sts and 72 sts. Roughly Ladies, ladies large/Men's small and Men's.
Abbreviations:
k - knit p-purl p2tog - decrease one stitch by purling the next two stitches together. PM - place a stitch marker sl - slip the next stitch purl wise. SM - slip the stitch marker as you come to it. ssk - decrease one stitch by slipping one stitch as if to knit, slipping the next stitch as if to purl, and then moving both stitches back to the left hand needle. Knit through the back loops of both stitches. st(s) - stitch(es)
Cuff:
Cast on 64(68, 72). Divide sts evenly over 4 DPN, and join for knitting in the round, being careful not tot twist. k2, p2 for about 3cm/1.25’ or until desired cuff length is reached.
Leg:
Choose your Model: There are charts and written instructions for both The Basic Model (plain ribbing) and Upgrade Package #1 (ribbing with a purl row for added texture). Start leg instructions for your size, using either the chart or written instructions. The chart shows the repeat for 16(17,18) sts, or ONE DPN needle. Continue knitting until you reach your desired leg length. Chart Key:
