NOTES

This pattern was designed with thicker ankles than standard sock

patterns provide. If you dont require extra stitches around the

ankle, omit the increase rounds above the heel to produce a

narrower leg.The socks shown used 112 grams for the pair and required only

about one-quarter of the third ball of yarn. If making a narrower

leg (see Note above), you may need only two balls of yarn. Or,

if making socks smaller than the size shown (womens U.S.

shoe sizes 9 to 10), you may only need two balls.

These socks are worked according to the toe-up method covered

by Ann Budd in her Beyond the Basics article, Interweave

Knits Summer 2007. If you have trouble working the toe or

heel construction in this pattern, refer to this article for more

information.

Because the cable crossings have less stretch than stockinette

and the cables travel over wide sections, a 40" circular needle

and the magic-loop method is recommended for workingthese socks.

If you tend to produce loose stitches at the beginning of the toe

when casting on with the Eastern method, work the cast-on

and first row using size 1 (2.25 mm) needles.

Because the cable pattern draws in so much, there are 47

stitches for the cable patterned instep, but only 22 stitches for

the stockinette sole.

Caspian Sea Socksdesign by Priscilla Gibson-Rober

Originally published January 2

The Caspian Sea, the largest lake on earth, is surrounded by lands rich in color and histo

Turkmenistan, Azerbaijan, Iran, Russia, and Kazakhstan, countries whose very names ev

exotic landscapes and vibrant cultures. Priscilla Gibson-Roberts has captured the flavor of

region in these four-color marvels. She begins at the traditionally pointed toe, working the

and bottom of the sock in different patterns. The heel opening is worked in waste yarn, so stitc

for the heel can be picked up at the end, after the striking bands of the cuff are completed. Th

socks are not an overnight project, but

techniques are so intriguing that you m find yourself staying up nights until

are done. And a final warning: if you int

to give these as gifts, be prepared for

flood of requests for more pairs.

Finished Size: 8" foot circumference, an(9)" long from tip of toe to back of heel, twomens U.S. shoe sizes 6 to 7 (7 to 8). Sshown are 9" long.

Yarn: Dale of Norway Tiur (60% mohair, 4wool; 12 6 yd [11 5m]/50 g): #4545 winskeins; #4425 pink, #2526 gold, and #7562 teal, 1 skein each.

Needles: Size 2 (3 mm): set of 5 doupointed (dpn); set of 5 double-pointed gneedles (about 4" [10 cm] long) are optionamay be helpful for cast-on.

Notions: Tapestry needle; small amounsmooth, contrasting waste yarn.

Gauge: 16 sts and 15 rnds = 2" (5 cmstranded two-color St st worked in the rnd fcharts. Adjust needle size if necessary to obthe correct gauge.

Skill Level: Experienced.

presented byknittingdailyPriscilla Gibson-Roberts' Caspian Sea Socks

Knitting Socks with knittingdaily: 5 freesock knitting pattNOTES

For shorter socks with a smaller foot circumference, use smaller

needles (US 1 1 [2.5 mm] suggested) for a tighter gauge,

and begin the toe shaping on Round 9 of the sock chart as for

the shorter foot length.

The socks are deliberately knit at a gauge that is tighter than

customary for this yarn.

When only one measurement or stitch count is given, it appliesto both sizes.

Each sock begins at the closed end of the toe and is worked

upwards to the top of the leg. The location of the heel opening

is marked by working the heel stitches using waste yarn,

and the sock continues to the twined edging at the top of the

leg. After the leg is finished, the waste yarn is removed, and

the heel is worked outward to the back of the heel, where

the remaining heel stitches are grafted together to close the

heel.

On the sock chart, the toe shaping of the shorter foot and the

location of the waste yarn inserted for the heel are shown in

heavy black outlines.

FootUsing wine and pink, CO 8 sts onto each needle as shown(Eastern CO, see page 18)16 sts total; each needle has 3sts at each end in pink, and 2 center sts in wine. Note: Theneedles should be held together snugly; the space betweenthem is exaggerated in the illustration to show how the yarnsinterlock and travel across the back of the needles. On thetop needle, the sts will have the leading side of each loop onback of needle in a non-standard stitch mount; and stitches onbottom needle will be mounted in the standard manner withthe leading side of each loop in front of needle. Work across

the sts on the top needle by working into the front of the loopsso the sts are deliberately twisted. Twisting the sts on the topneedle will nudge each st to the right, making the stitchesappear to be aligned, instead of offset by one-half stitch asusually happens when working in opposite directions from thistype of wrapped cast-on. Work Rnd 1 of sock chart, placingmarker (pm) at beg of rnd, and dividing sts evenly on 4 dpnas you work Rnd 1. Rnd begins at start of sole sts. Work Rnds24 of chart. Use the needle tip to tighten the sts of the CO ifnecessary, working the extra slack in the yarn toward the tails.Toe shaping: For 9" foot length only, skip Rnds 58 of chart.Toe shaping beg on Rnd 9 (5) of sock chart as foll:

Glossary

Twisted CordCut several lengths of yarn about five times the desired finished cord length. Fold the strands inhalf to form two equal groups. Anchor the strands at the fold by looping them over a doorknob.Holding one group in each hand, twist each group tightly in a clockwise direction until they beginto kink. Put both groups in one hand, then release them, allowing them to twist around eachother counterclockwise. Smooth out the twists so that they are uniform along the length of thecord. Knot the ends.

Figure 1 Figure 2

Eastern Cast-OnHold two dpn parallel to each other. Leaving a 6" (15 cm) tail, wrap theworking yarn around both needles counterclockwise (Figure 1) half as manytimes as the number of stitches you want. For example, if you want to caston 12 stitches, wrap the yarn around the two needles six times. To begin,bring the yarn forward between the two needles and use a third needle toknit across the wraps on the top needle (Figure 2). Rotate the two needles sothat the needle that had been on the bottom is now on the top; use the freeneedle to knit across the wraps on that needle (Figure 3).
