Tobias
[ feministy.com | liz.abinante@gmail.com ］ contact[ version 1 | november 2010 ］ pattern [ feministy | feministy fans group ]ravelry When it came time to knit the sample sock for this pattern, I emailed a friend and asked her "What color should I knit a sock that's named after Tobias on Arrested Development?" And she emailed me back, "Would it be too obvious to suggest blue?' Named after Tobias Funke, would renowned “analrapist," this sock is a little funky, a little strange, and a little confused by its path in life.
Yarn
100 grams fingering weight merino or merino blend. Shown in: Little Red Bicycle - Tandem Sock (400 yards per 115 grams), 100% 2-ply superwash merino. Shown in Tobias.
Gauge and Needle
Use the needle, yarn, gauge, and stitch count that work best for you when knitting socks if in doubt. 7 sts/inch, using a US #1 (2.25mm) needle
Notes
This pattern is written cuff-down, with instructions provided for a heel flap. Please note that this pattern is written for two circular needles and uses the abbreviation“ndl1" and“ndl2" to indicate this. If using DPNs, make sure you pay close attention to this. Instructions for different sizes are provided in [brackets]. There are separate instructions for the right and left sock: you do not have to make them mirror images of each other, but they look kind of awesome that way. The cables should be on the outside of the foot.
At the risk of sounding repetitive,the right sock has a cable on the right side of the foot and the left sock has the cable on the left side of the foot.

Heel Flap
The heel is knit back and forth across 33[35] sts on ndl2. Row 1: [WS] sl1, p to end, turn work Row 2: [RS] sl1, k to end, turn work Work these two rows 14[16] times more (15[17] times total, adding up to 30[32] rows total): you have 15[17] slipped stitches on each edge. For a higher instep, work additional rows, making sure to decrease the gusset to compensate. End with a WS row.
Heel Turn
Row 1: [RS] k17[19], ssk, k1, turn work Row 2: [WS] sl1, p3[5], p2tog, p1, turn work Row 3: sl1, k to one stitch before the gap, ssk, k1, turn work Row 4: sl1, p to one stitch before the gap, p2tog, p1, turn work Continue in this manner until all stitches have been worked, you should end with a WS row: you will have 19[21] sts total. Proceed to gusset.
Gusset
Knit acrosthe heel sts. Pick up and knit every slipped stitch along the heel flap. Knit the foot sts in lace/cable pattern as established. Pick up and knit every slipped stitch along the other side of the heel. Rearrange your sts so that all of the picked up gusset stitches are on ndl2.
Gusset Decreases
Continue knitting the instep sts (ndl1), while keeping the foot sts (ndl2) in pattern. Decrease as follows: Row 1: Beginning with ndl2 k1, ssk, k to last 3 sts, k2tog, k1. Work ndl1 in pattern. Row 2: K all gusset and heel sts, keeping the foot in pattern. Stop decreasing after you have 33[35] sts for the instep (ndl2). Continue knitting in pattern until 2" from your toe. To avoid puckering from the cable, end on row 3, 7,11, 15, 19, 23, 27,31,35 or 39 (third row after a cable twist).If ending on one of these rows is not possible, work one row with all sts purled to avoid puckering before beginning toe decreases.
Toe Decreases
Beginning with the instep, decrease as follows: Row 1: [ndl2] k1, ssk, k to last 3 sts, k2tog, k1. [ndl1] k1, ssk, k to last 3 sts, k2tog, k1. Row 2: k. Repeat rows 1-2 until 22[26] sts remain (11[13] ndl1, 11[13] ndl2). Graft toe and weave in ends.
