Stitch patterns:
- Stockinette stitch in the round:
knit all rows.
- Twisted ribbing in the round:
*k1 through back loop, p1*
Start
Using contrast colour and the Magic Cast On technique cast on 24(24)28 sts onto two needles, 12(12)14 sts each.
Work using the double-pointed needles or the circular needle and the Magic Loop technique (see xxx for a tutorial). Place marker for beginning of round. Work as follows:
Round 1: k12(12)14, place marker, work to end of round.
Round 2: *kfb (= knit front and back), work to last 2 sts before marker, kfb, k1*, repeat *-*. 4 sts increased, 28(28)32 sts on the needles.
Round 3: knit all sts.
Repeat rounds 2-3 8(9)9 more times. 32(36)36 sts increased, 60(64)68 sts on the needles. Break yarn and join main colour.
Work stockinette st until the sock measures 19(20,5)23 cm or 5 cm from desired foot length.
Hourglass heel: work stockinette st to first marker, turn work, slip 1 st purlwise with yarn in front, tighten the yarn in the back of the work so the loops of the slipped st from the previous round come over the needle = double stitch. Purl to marker, turn work, make another double stitch. Keep working short rows, turning the work before the previous double stitch.
When 12(12)14 regular sts remain in the middle and you have last worked a RS row, begin long rows. Work the middle 12(12)14 sts and 1 double st (work the loops of the double st together to form one st). *Turn work, slip 1 purlwise. Work the row until you reach a double st at the other end. Work the double st.* Repeat *-* until all sts are back on the needles. Place a marker at the beginning of round.
Work stockinette st until the leg measures 12(12)14 cm from the marker or 3 cm less than desired length. Break yarn and continue with CC.
Work twisted ribbing for 3 cm, then loosely bind off in pattern.
Knit the other sock in the same manner.
Finishing
Lightly steam the socks.
