These are my own "recipes" - not so much patterns as templates for sock knitting. These are basically distillations of what's on my blog. Templates are on Ravelry as free downloads, but I'm including links here also:
1. toe-up, "forethought" heel sock template, in 2 sizes (men's and ladies' "medium" foot circumference with foot length up to you), 6 rib-based all-over stitch patterns included (3 for ladies and 3 more gentlemanly patterns). download now
2. fingerless gloves or mitaines: a generic top-down recipe with thumbs knit and then attached separately. download now
3. a discussion of how to use a paper template of someone's foot to produce socks that fit.
4. a recipe for toe-up flap style heels, sized using the paper template above.
5. a recipe for toe-up "fleegle" or "handkerchief" heels, sized using the paper template above.
6. Hybrid Sweet Tomatoes: a modification of Cat Bordhi's "sweet tomato heels" that is done over 1/2 of the sock stitches, rather than 2/3 of them (this enables easy 2AAT knitting).
after thought directions expertly done. thank you

ReplyDeleteDo you have any suggestions for sock yarn for those of us who are allergic to wool?
