Knit Sock Pattern - Ribbed Socks

Knit Sock Pattern for Size 4 - average 5 years.

Knit Sock Pattern Materials - 1.5 ozs. 3-ply 'whiteheather' scotch fingering.

Four no.14 steel knitting needles.

Work at a tension to produce about 10.5 stitches and 14.5 rows to the inch, measured over the plain portion.

Cast on 60 stitches, 20 on each of three needles.

Work 104 rounds (7 inches) in rib of K.2 and P.2.

Then commence the heel as follows:- knit the first 16 stitches of the round, and slip the last 14 stitches on to the other end of the same needle - these 30 stitches are for the heel. Divide all the other stitches on to 2 needles, leaving them for the instep.

On the heel stitches (always slipping the first stitch), P.30, turn, K.29, turn, P.28, turn, K.27, turn. Continue in this manner until 9 stitches are left at each side of the heel, the last row will be P.12; then turn, K.12, lift up the right-hand side of the loop just before the 13th stitch and knit the two stitches together, thereby preventing a hole, turn, P.13, lift up the loop just before the 14th stitch and purl the two together. Continue in this manner, working 1 extra stitch on to each row until all the 30 stitches are on one row again (the last row will be a purl row).

Knit back 15 stitches, to complete the heel. Slip the 30 instep stitches on to one needle. Taking a spare needle, knit the remaining 15 stitches of the heel and knit up 2 stitches at the side of the heel; with a second needle, rib the instep stitches; with a third needle, rib the instep stitches at the side of the heel and the other 15 heel stitches.

Knit one round, plain on the first and third needles and in the rib on the second.

In the next round of this knit sock pattern, decrease for the instep as follows:- knit to the last 3 stitches of the first needle. K.2 together, K.1; rib the second needle without shaping; on the third needle, K.1, K.2 together through the back of the loops, knit to the end of the needle. Repeat * the last 2 rounds twice.

Knit 49 rounds without shaping - plain on the first and third needles and ribbing the second; in the last of these rounds, decrease 2 stitches on the second needle.

Then commence the shaping for the toe as follows: - *knit to the last 3 stitches of the first needle, K.2 together, K.1; on the second needle, K.1, K.2 together through the back of the loops, knit plain to the last 3 stitches, K.2 together, K.1; on the third needle, K.1, K.2 together through the back of the loops, knit to the end of the needle.

Work 2 rounds in plain knitting without shaping. Repeat from * until only 28 stithces reman in the round, then knit the stitches on the first needle on to the third.

Either cast off the 2 needles together, or graft the stitches for this knit sock pattern.
