Christmas Sock Ornament Knitting PatternDesigned by Maryanne Wilford
Pattern knit by Sarah Bradberry.
NotesThis pattern is made in the round using dpns. I prefer to keep the work on 3 dpns and knit with the 4th, so the pattern is set up this way. You will have to do some juggling with the stitch counts if you like to use 4 dpns and knit with the 5th. I worked the heel flap in plain St st. I usually work the selvedge st in K on each row. This makes it easy for me to see where I should pick up sts. I made my sock with a contrasting heel and toe. If you want yours to be all one color, ignore the references to MC or CC. I grafted the toe stitches. You could just as easily draw the yarn end through them and pull the toe closed. Materials Webs 2/10 Shetland wool in main color and contrast color (2800 yds per pound) 2.0mm (Size 0 US) dpns for ribbing, 2.25mm (Size 1 US) dpns for the rest Gauge 18 sts and 24 rows = 2 inches in St St on size 2.25 mm needles Instructions Cuff Using smaller needles and 1 strand of MC yarn, CO 20 sts. Divide onto 3 dpns with 8 sts each on 1st and 2nd needles and 4 sts on 3rd needle and work in the round. Work K2 P2 ribbing for 15 rnds. Drop MC and divide for heel by moving the next 10 sts to the larger needles and placing the remaining 10 sts on a holder. Heel With CC, work 8 rows of stockinette st over 10 heel sts, ending with a P row. Turn Heel Row 1: (right side) K5, SSK, K1, turn. Row 2: SL1, P1, P2tog, P1, turn. Row 3: SL1, K2, SSK, K1, turn.
