Pattern Notes
Socks are knit in one piece from cuff to toe. Socks may be worked on either 3 dpns (knitting with a 4th) or 4 dpns (knitting with a 5th) When instructed to slip sts, slip them purlwise, except when working SSK (see Special Stitches)
Special Stitches:
SSK (slip slip knit): slip 2 sts from left needle, one at a time knitwise, then insert tip of left needle through front of these 2 sts from left to right and knit them together from this position. K2tog (knit two together): knit two stitches together as one (decrease completed) P2tog (purl two together): purl two stitches together as one (decrease completed) Socks (make 2) CO 36, arranging sts evenly on 3 or 4 dpns. Join for circular knitting, placing marker to note beg of rnds (or use yarn tail as a guide to beg of rnd.) Rnds 1-2: K. Begin scalloped lace cuff: id 3: \*(K2tog) three times, (yo, k1) six times, (k2tog) three times, rep from \* once Rnds 4-6: K. Rnd 7: Rep Rnd 3. Rnds 8-11: Rep Rnds 4-7. Rnd 12: K. Rnd 13 (eyelet rnd): \*K2 tog, yo, rep from \* around. Rnd 14: K. Rnds 15-17 (ribbing rnds): \*K2, p2, rep from \* around. At end of Rnd 17, turn work to begin heel flap. (Note: yarn tail that marks beg of rnd should be hanging in line with right end of ndl, so that cuff scallops will align properly on ankle when sock is completed & worn.) Heel flap: Row 1: Sl 1, p across next 17 sts, turn (18 sts on heel flap ndl). Leave rem 18 sts on holder or spare dpns to be worked later for instep. Row 2: Sl 1, k across next 17 sts, turn. Rows 3-4: Rep Rows 1-2 once. Row 5: Sl 1, p across next 17 sts, turn. Turn heel: Row 1: Sl 1, k to last 8 sts, k2tog, k1, turn. Row 2: Sl 1, p to last 8 sts, p2tog, p1, turn. Row 3: Sl 1, k to one st before the "gap" formed by the previous two short rows, k2tog, k1, turn. Row 4: Sl 1, p to one st before the “gap", p2tog, p1, turn. Rows 5-6: Rep Rows 3-4. Row 7: Sl 1, k to one st before the "gap", k2tog, turn. Row 8: Sl 1, p to one st before the “gap", p2tog, turn (10 sts rem on heel flap ndl) Gusset: Set-up rnd: Working in rnds again, k5 to get to center of heel.
