Free patterns knitted socks: Materials -

  • 6 ozs. Beehive Double Knitting or Beehive (or 'whiteheather') wheeling.
  • Four no.11 steel knitting needles.

Work at a tension to produce about 7 stitches and 10 rows to the inch, measured over the plain portion.

Cast on 60 stitches - 20 on each of 3 needles. Work in rounds, in rib of K.2 and P.2, for 4 inches. Then work 8 more inches in plain knitting. To commence the heel, knit the first 15 stitches of the round on to one needle, slip the last 15 stitches of this round on to the other end of the same needle (these 30 stitches are for the heel). Dividing all the other stitches on to two needles, leave them for the instep.

On the heel stitches (always slipping the first stitch), purl and knit a row alternately until 29 more rows are worked (the last row will be a purl now).

To turn the heel, K.18, slip 1, K.1, pass the slipped stitch over the knitted, *turn, P.8, P.2 together, turn, K.8, slip 1, K.1, pass the slipped stitch over the knitted, repeat from * until all the stitches are worked on to one row again. Purl back, purling together the two middle stitches, turn, K.4-this completes the heel.

Slip all the instep stitches on to one needle. Taking a spare needle, knit the remaining 4 stitches of the heel, and knit up 15 stitches at the side of the heel; with a second needle, knit the instep stitches; with a third needle, knit up 15 stitches at the side of the heel and the other 4 heel stitches of this free patterns knitted socks.

Knit 2 rounds without shaping for this free patterns knitted socks pattern. Then, in the next round, decrease for the instep as follows:- Knit up to last 4 stitches of the first needle, K.2 together, K.2; knit the second needle without shaping; on the third needle, K.2, K.2 together through the back of the loops, knit to the end of the needle.

Repeat the last 3 rounds until only 15 stithces remain on each of the first and third needles.

Knit, without shaping until (from the side of the heel where the stitches were knitted up) the foot measures:-

6.5 inches for a 10-inch foot

7 inches for a 10.5 inch foot

7.5 inches for a 11-inch foot
