The Poolside Socks by Cat Ware has been released as a FREE OPAF pattern!
The poolside socks are knit from the top down and in the round. The cuff starts with a long tail cast-on (or your preferred stretchy method) and a simple 1×1 rib with a contrast stripe for added interest. The heel is of a German Short Row construction and a traditional wedge toe (with matching contrast stripe) is used to complete the sock. The instructions are intended to be ‘needle type neutral’ so work whether you are using Magic loop, a small ‘sock’ circular needle or DPN’s. Markers are used to mark the beginning/end of the round and the halfway point of the stitch count. If using Magic loop this corresponds to the start of needle 1 and start of needle 2. For DPN’s, the start of needle 1 and start of needle 3. If you prefer knitting socks on a small ‘sock’ circular needle, then simply place the markers as instructed.
Follow instructions based on your size only. Add your own leg and foot lengths for a customised fit (optional). Benefit from easy-to-follow instructions with integrated row/round counting, progress tracking as well as all charts and abbreviations easily accessible by clicking the text. Plus, benefit from OPAF’s comprehensive row counting/progress tracking and advanced interactive charting features; zoom and pan charts, row highlight, click on chart symbols for stitch descriptions/instructions and more!
