Great little sock



These are just fantastic and you can do several in one day (of coarse once you start you just keep on going)  With a cast on of 36 and a size 2 sock needle (4 each) and a knit 2 purl 2 to  get the cuff (1 inch) then going to the heal (18 stitches for heal)  I do a slip one knit one slip as if to purl all the way across then on the return I purl straight across and repeat until I am able to pick up 9 stitches on each side for gusset.  Then decrease every other round then about 18 rounds until decreasing on the toe.  For a fly by the seat pattern or guide here is one for your "Basic Sock Chart"  These are great little things so experiment with different needle sizes and yarn size.  Add embellishments for that special touch.  As you can see I put on some silk ribbon for little bows but anything would be great!   Take a look at my etsy store where these are for sale now and let me know what you think!
