Socks

MATERIALS - 4 skeins Woolco Knitting Worsted. 4 steel needles No. 15.

Cast on 80 on 4 needles.

Knit 2, purl 2 for 50 rows.

Knit plain until the sock measures 7 inches, making one stitch the seam stitch.

Now narrow on each side of the seam stitch for the ankle. This is done by knitting to within the last 3 stitches of the seam; slip 1, knit 1; draw the slipped stitch over the knitted 1; knit 1; purl the seam stitch; knit 1; knit 2 together; knit the rest plain. Repeat this 5 times, doing 5 rounds between each narrowing.

Now knit plain until the leg measures 10 ½ inches.

Divide the stitches for the heel (have 17 on each side of the seam); knit and purl the stitches until the heel measures 3 inches (always slip the 1st stitch, whether it be knitted or purled).

Now knit across; knit 20 stitches; knit 2 together; knit 1; turn; purl 5; purl 2 together; purl 1; turn; knit 5; knit 2 together; knit 1. Repeat these 2 rows until there are only 7 stitches left.

Now pick up the side stitches; do 3 plain rounds; then narrow.

(1st pin of the heel); knit 1; knit 2 together; knit the rest plain.

(2d pin); knit to within the last 3 stitches; slip 1; knit 1; pass the slipped stitch over the knitted 1; knit 1. Do 2 plain rounds between each narrowing. There should be 6 narrowings.

Now knit plain until there are 8 inches.

Divide the stitches for the toe, half on the front pin, one-quarter on each of the other pins. The front must lie flat on the sole of the foot.

(1st pin); knit 1; knit 2 together; knit to within the last 3 stitches; slip 1; knit 1; pass the slipped stitch over the knitted 1; knit 1.

(2d pin); knit 1; knit 2 together; knit the rest plain.

(3d pin); knit to within the last 3 stitches; slip 1; knit 1; pass the slipped stitch over the knitted 1; do 2 plain rounds between each narrowing. Repeat this until there are only 24 stitches left on the pin, or until the foot measures 10 inches; bind off and sew up.
