Salida
$\circledcirc$ JannekeMaat akaSerena http://www.helyg.com Last year Yarnissima introduced me to the patterns with traveling stitches with her free pattern "Firestarter" I like the twisted patterns so much I was looking for more inspiration. So I bought the little books "Uberlieferte Strickmunster aus dem Steirischen Enstall' by Maria Erlbacher. Lots of traditional patterns, easy knitted or real complex are collected in these 3 volumes. The delicate and subtle look of the patterns invited me to design Salida. A tiny cable and a little ladder will form a delicate border around the decorative panel filled with eyes, cables and knot work. I recommend using a solid, natural color or a semi-solid yarn for this pair of socks to show this detailed sock at best. Salida is designed for size EU (37/38) 39/40, Woman US (6-7.5) 8-9. It is knitted over (62) 66 stitches on a circular needle using magic loop. The traveling stitches combined with a rib make a snug fitting sock. Compared to a plain stockinette stitch sock knitted on similar yarn and needles, you will need about $10\%$ extra stitches for a good fit. The pattern can easily be adjusted for larger sizes by adding an extra column of ktbl and p on the beginning and ending of a needle. This is a suggestion, not noted in the pattern or chart. Knitting twisted stitches is a piece of cake using the cabling without a cable needle method: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fokn_ CJp4EY
