Pattern: Usual Hybrid Sock Pattern Yarns: Claudia Handpaints “Blue Fields” Method: Hand knitting Completed: February 1, 2013. |
These are my standard socks — toe up, following Wendy’s Toe-Up pattern, and Cat Bordhi’s Riverbed Arch expansion/plain heel. I did a chevron pattern to reduce the stripey effect.
I wound up having to re-knit the first ankle after deciding it was too tight with only 4 stitches increased from the foot circumference. In the end, I added 12 stitches over the foot circumference. They’re still a little snug to pull over my heel, but they fit well.

Flat views. You can see that the ankles are much narrower than the feet, in spite of being constructed with 12 more stitches per row — the chevron does that. |
