The heading may seem a little puzzling, seeing as there's no tatting on these socks, but it refers to the fact that these socks are for Jess from Tat-ilicious. This is my favourite lace stitch for socks. It's basically a K2, P2 rib, so it's elastic and fits well, but it's a bit more interesting than a plain rib. Here's how it goes:
Round 1: P2, K2 to end
Round 2: P2, yarn over, K2 together to end
Round 3: P2, K2 to end
Round 4: P2, K2 together, yarn around needle to end
They look squishy and cosy; are they toe-up?
ReplyDeleteNo,I worked them top down, mainly because I'm going to make a matching pair for Livy, and that would be a teeny toe to begin with.
DeleteThe look like something Jess would love! Now my fingers are itching to knit some socks. I think I'll wait until the humidity is lower, though. : )
ReplyDeleteYeah, knitting in summer is not always fun. Don't wait until your toes are cold tho!
Deletevery pretty socks, and they do look Tatilicous
