Move marker to this last stitch. 36 stitches in each round for Rounds 12 - 17; 37 stitches in Round 18. Foot/Ankle/Calf (worked in rounds in crunch stitch pattern, increasing for instep, and leaving space for an afterthought heel) Round 19: Alternate dc and sc all the way around. 37 stitches in round. Round 20: Alternate sc and dc, working scs in the dcs of the previous round and dcs in the scs of previous round. Rounds 21 and beyond: Repeat pattern established by Rounds 19 and 20, until sock is about 2-1/4" from the back of the heel when tried on (22 rows of the pattern stitch are shown in the picture above, for a size 9/10 shoe). Next Round: Lay sock flat with marked side facing up. Continue in pattern to the stitch at the far left of the top of the sock. Ch 19. Skip 19 st. If the next st is a dc, dc and sc in it and dc and sc in the next dc (if the next st is a dc, sc and dc in it, and sc and dc in the next sc). Continue in pattern to the two stitches before the ch starts. Work two pattern stitches in each of these next two stitches as appropriate. Continue in pattern across the ch, and continue working the pattern in rounds until the desired height (minus 1" for the top edge) is reached (38 rounds are shown in the socks pictured above). End up at the center back of the sock with a sl st after the last sc. Do not fasten off. NOTE: Just to be safe, I stopped a few rows past the heel opening (didn't fasten off), and dug out the other end of the yarn from the center of the skein, using it to work the heel. This was so I didn't have to worry about having enough yarn left to do the heel once the sock itself was complete. Top Edge Row 1: Ch 2, turn. Hdc in each stitch all the way around. Join w/sl st to top of ch 2. Rounds 2 and beyond: Ch 1, turn. Sc in each stitch all the way around. Mark last stitch with stitch marker. Do not join. Sc in top of ch 1, and continue with 3 or 4 rows of sc as yarn permits. Determine last stitch in round and end the round with a sl st in that last stitch. Final Round: Ch 2, turn. Hdc in each stitch all the way around. Join w/sl st to opt of ch 2. Fasten off. Sew in end. Afterthought Heel Round 1: There are 19 stitches available to work across the bottom of the heel opening. Attach yarn to the 10th (center) stitch and ch 1. Sc in next 8 st. Sc 2 tog by combining the last stitch in the bottom of the heel opening with the first stitch in the top of the heel opening. Sc across top of heel opening to last stitch, combining the last stitch in the top of the heel opening sith the first stitch in the bottom of the heel opening with a sc tog. Sc across bottom of heel opening to starting ch. Mark last stitch in round. Do not join. Round 2, etc.: Sc in starting ch and continue in rounds (8 rounds should be necessary), always working 2 sc tog at the ends of the opening (combining the stitches on either side of the sc tog of the previous round), reducing the size of the opening. Round ends will "move" toward the right and when 11 stitches are left unworked on the top and on the bottom, fasten off leaving a 12" or so tail. This tail will be at or very near one of the ends of the opening. Turn sock inside out, thread the tail through a tapestry needle, and sew up the seam. Weave in end. |
