Materials:

BEEHIVE SCOTCH FINGERING, 3 Ply 3 skeins (1 oz. skeins).

Royal Society Double-Pointed Sock Needles No. 1

Important: ⅓ ounce more yarn is required to replace heels or toes. If you have ⅓ ounce on hand in contrasting color and do not object to contrasting heels or toes, you can use this for making the new heels or toes. To replace both heels and toes, 1 ounce extra is required.

GAUGE: 8 sts make 1 inch; 11 rnds make 1 inch.

Cast on 68 sts very loosely (for all sizes). Divide sts on 3 needles. Join, being careful not to twist sts, and work around tightly in ribbing of k 2, p 2, for 5 inches. Next rnd: Knit around, decreasing evenly around to 60 sts. Work in stockinette stitch (knit each rnd) until piece measures 11½ inches in all. Next rnd: With spare needle knit 15 sts from 1st needle. Slip the last 15 sts of previous rnd off 3rd needle onto other end of spare needle (30 sts for heel). Divide the remaining 30 sts on 2 needles for instep, but do not knit them.

Repeat these 2 rows alternately until there are 29 rows, then work as follows: With right side facing, k 17, k 2 together, k 1, turn. Slip 1, p 5, p 2 together, p 1, turn. Slip 1, k 6, k 2 together, k 1, turn. Slip 1, p 7, p 2 together, p 1, turn. Continue in this manner, always working 1 st more on each row until 18 sts remain, ending with a purl row. This completes heel. Break yarn.

Place the 30 instep sts onto 1 nee­dle, then continue with either of the following methods:
