Hi! It feels like I haven’t logged on to this blog in months, but it’s really only been weeks. Colege has been keeping me busy, but I’ve still been doing lots of knitting. So here’s a new sock pattern, inspired by Courtney Moore!
Needles: 2.75mm dpns and 2.25mm dpns
Yarn: Loops & Threads Woolike
Using the larger needles, cast on 36 stitches using your preferred stretchy cast-on method and join in the round.
K1P1 rib three rounds.
Knit 32 rounds.
Switch to 2.25mm dpns.
K around once.
K2tog, K around to last 2 sts, ssk (34 sts).
K around once.
K2tog, K to last 2 sts, ssk (32 sts).
K around once.
K8, place those 8sts and the last 8sts on one needle. Turn.

sl1, knit across, turn
sl1, purl across, turn
sl1, K8, K2tog, K1, turn
sl1, P3, P2rog, P1, turn
sl1, K4, K2tog, K1, turn
sl1, P5, P2tog, P1, turn
sl1, K6, K2tog, K1, turn
sl1, P7, P2tog, P1, turn
Now, divide the stitches onto three needles like so:
Needle 1: sl1, knit across, pick up 6 stitches along side of heel flap.
Needle 2: Knit the 16 instep stitches.
Needle 3: Pick up 6 more stitches along the other side of the heel flap, K5.
K around
K to end of needle 1, K2tog. K across needle 2. ssk first two stitches of needle 3, knit to end.
Repeat the last two rounds until 28 stitches remain.
Knit 12 rounds.
Now, the stitches should be divided like so:
Needle 1: 7sts
Needle 2: 14sts
Needle 3: 7sts
K5, K2tog, ssk, K10, K2tog, ssk, K5
K4, K2tog, ssk, K8, K2tog, ssk, K5
K around
K3, K2tog, ssk, K6, K2tog, ssk, K3
K4 sts from the first needle onto the third, so that the 16 stitches are divided evenly between the two needles. Graft the toe closed using kitchener stitch, weave in ends and the socks are complete.
