Materials: Scraps of “Fixation” brand yarn. (I had a small ball leftover about 7” around from a larger sock pattern. When done with the baby socks, the ball was still 6” around. This pattern does not use much yarn.)
2 pairs circular needles size 3. (I got 8 sts to the inch, what you want is to have a sock that when folded flat from the side measure almost 1 1/2” across at the cuff. This will stretch enough to put over Babies foot but will be snug enough to stay on.)
One stitch marker
Get Started:
Cast on 24 stitches. Divide evenly across needles (12, 12) Join in a ring being careful not to twist. Begin ribbing, k1, p1 (first needle is needle 1 and remaining needle is needle 2) knit circularly for 5 rows. (For a cuffed version,(shown on the right) rib for 14 rows.)
Work 7 rows in plain stockinette stitch.
Begin heel: Heel is worked on the 12 sts of needle one only
Row 1: slip one, knit across 11 sts, turn
Row 2: slip one, purl across 11 sts, turn.
Repeat rows one and two for a total of 10 rows ending with row 2.
Turn heel:
Row 1: sl 1, k6, k2tog, k1, turn
Row 2: sl1, p3, p2tog, p1
Row 3: sl1, k4, k2tog, k1, turn
Row 4: sl1, p5, p2tog, p1, turn
Eight sts should remain
Pick up gusset stitches:
Row 1:
Needle 1: Knit across the 8 heel stitches, pick up 5 gusset stitches.
Needle 2: knit across 12 stitches
Needle 1: Pick up 5 gusset stitches place marker. This marks the divide between rows until the decreases are complete. (I know this will look un-natural to you, but trust me, on the next round it will all work out.)
Row2: Starting at Marker, knit one row st st around and back to marker.
Decrease rows: Beginning of rows is always at the marker until otherwise indicated.
Row 1:
Needle 1: Knit across needle one to last 3 sts. K2tog, k1.
Needle 2: Knit across
Needle 1: k1, sl1, k1, psso, knit to marker
Row 2:
Needle 1: Knit across
Needle 2: Knit across
Needle 1: Knit to marker.
Continue decreasing with these two rows until you end up with just two stitches before your marker. Remove marker and complete the decrease. 24 sts remain
total.
Now knit around evenly on both needles until you are 2 ½” from back of heel, that worked out to 19 rows for me.
Toe shaping:
Row 1:
Needle one: k1, sl1, psso, knit to last 3 sts, k2tog, k1
Needle two: k1, sl1, psso, knit to last 3 sts, k2tog, k1.
Row 2: Work evenly across both needles.
Repeat rows 1 and 2 until you have 8sts remaining (4 on each needle and yes, it can be done!)
Graft remaining sts together or if you just absolutely hate the kitchener st you can use a yarn needle and run your yarn through the sts and pull tight.
