Twisted Mary Socks
Designed by Cherie Cool
Cherie created this pattern as a birthday gift for our friend
Mary Griffitts
Materials
- Sock yarn, enough for a pair of socks (sample sock was
made using Lorna's Laces Shepherd Sock yarn)
- 4 double point needles size 2 (or size needle to meet
gauge)
- A yarn marker
Instructions
Gauge: 9 stitches per inch
Special Techniques and Abbreviations:
LT
= using the next 2 sts on the left needle, knit into the
back of the second st. Pull loop through leaving second
st on left needle, then knit the first and second sts together
through back loops and let the sts drop off the needle.
S1 = slip one st purlwise
N1, N2, N3 = needle 1, needle 2, needle 3
Cuff:
Loosely cast on 70 sts. Divide sts onto 3 needles. Be careful
not to twist, join in the round and begin cuff pattern.
Row 1: place marker, (k5, p2) 10 times
Row 2: slip marker, (LT, k3, p2) 10 times
Row 3: slip marker, (k5, p2) 10 times
Row 4: slip marker, (k1, LT, k2, p2) 10 times
Row 5: slip marker, (k5, p2) 10 times
Row 6: slip marker, (k2, LT, k1, p2) 10 times
Row 7: slip marker, (k5, p2) 10 times
Row 8: slip marker, (k3, LT, p2) 10 times
Repeat these 8 rows 2 more times
Last row of cuff: slip marker, (k5, p2) 10 times
Leg:
The leg is knit in St st with 5 LTs made on every other round.
There will be no more purls until the heel flap.
It becomes important here to pay close attention to
how the LTs look and where to knit the LTs on top of each
other on the continuing rounds to continue a spiral around
the leg.
This leg portion of the pattern will not be written row by
row. LT sts will remain on N1 while sts are moved manually
to N1 from N2, and moved from N1 to
N3 as needed.
Remove marker. Begin to set up sts for leg pattern.
Put the first 33 sts onto N1, there should be 5 LTs on this
needle. Divide the rest of the sts onto N2 and N3. LTs will
only be made on N1 for the leg.
Rnd 1: Knit to the st before the LT made in the round below.
Notice the line of LTs. The next LT will be made in the st
of this line and the st following this line. make a LT, (k5,LT)
4 times. Knit the rest of the round.
Rnd 2: Knit
Continue these 2 rows until sock measures 7 inches from beginning
of cuff, or to a desired length.
Remember, as your leg gets longer you will have to move sts
around on your needles to continue the LT spiral down the
leg on N1.
Set Up for Heel Flap: (read first)
First complete Round 1 of leg, LTs have just been made on
N1, knit N2 and N3, stop knitting.
To set up for the heel flap divide sts. 36 sts will be used
for heel flap and 34 sts for instep.
