(For my friend, Soxie)
This is a super simple pattern combining what I wanted... a fast, easy sock
that looked a bit "scrunched" without actually knitting a scrunch sock! It's
also with a combo of my friend Soxie's favorite starting pattern and
heel turning.
One skein Opal (or other sock weight yarn)
Set of Four Size 1 dpn's
Rnds 1-5: knit all sts
Rnds 6-7: purl all sts
Cast on 72 (64)(56) sts, divide onto 3 needles, join, being careful not to
twist.
Place half of stitches onto needle holder or onto one needle. Work
remaining heel stitches as follows:
Row 1: sl 1, k1 across
Row 2: purl all sts
Repeat until heel flap measures 2 and 1/4 inches ( or longer/shorter to your
specifications), ending with Row 1.
(place stitch marker at center of sts)
Row 1: sl 1, k 5 sts past center, k2tog, k1, turn.
Row 2: sl 1, p 5 sts past center, p2tog, p1, turn.
Continue with Rows 1 and 2 until all sts are worked.
Pick up one st in each slipped stitch along side of heel. Knit all sts
across instep. Pick up one st in each slipped stitch along other side of
heel. Knit half of heel sts, slip remaining to needle one.
