This pattern is knit from the toe up, using a turkish cast on. It is written using the magic loop technique because it is most familiar to me when it comes to socks.
Pattern Notes:
The top of the socks are worked in moss stitch which is a combination of knits and purls, you would definitely gain a better understanding of this pattern if you have worked this stitch previously.
Materials:
1 skein sock yarn
2.75 mm circular needles
Cast on 24 (12 on each needle)
Row 1: knit around
Row 2: (kfb, knit to last stitch on needle, kfb) twice
Repeat rows 1 and two until you have a total of 60 stitches around, 30 on each needle.
Row 3: (k1,p1) repeat until end of needle, knit until end of round
Repeat row 3
Row 4: (p1,k1) repeat until end of needle, knit until end of round.
Repeat row 4
Continue working rows 3-4 as previously worked for 56 rows. DO NOT COMPLETE THE 56th ROW. Halfway through the 56th row is where you will begin working the heel. I will be using the Fish Lips Kiss Heel by SoxTherapist but any short row heel will do. You can buy the heel I used for $1 on the ravelry store. If you use the suggested technique for this pattern, you will need to knit the backside of the last row.
Row 5: (k1, p1) repeat until end of needle, knit until end of round
Row 6: (p1,k1) around
Repeat row 6
Row 7: (k1,p1) around
Repeat row 7
Continue working rows 6-7 as previously worked for 12 rows (or until desired length)
Work 2x2 ribbing for 8 rows
Bind off using any stretchy cast off (I used the half stretchy bind off, it provides less flaring while still being able to expand) weave in ends
