I. Foot patterns. Now it will get slightly tricky. We want to rejoin the white yarn.
Needles 1 and 3: We will be working one pattern for needles 1 and 3, and a different pattern on needle 2 [top of foot]. The model sock shown has needles 1 and 3 in a 2-st checkerboard.
K1B, K1W , alternating with K1W, K1B. Keep alternating these. It gets tricky where you have to do your increases and decreases at the side of the foot, but basically, if you don’t worry about it, all will work well.
Instep/Foot Top patterns.
The patterns in the graph above are:
a) a 4 stitch repeat, the checkers - (rows 1-3)
b) an 8 st repeat, the maze - (rows 4-20)
c) a 14 st repeat the stairs - (21-36)
d) A 4 st repeat, the bars - (37-39)
This means that the design fits perfectly on the M size, with 28 st for the instep.
However, we have to adjust for the S and L sizes.
For the S size, which has an instep of 22 st, that is 8 st more than are needed for the 14 st.
I suggest you frame the foot designs by having the first and last 4 st in black, and that will
center your designs.
For the L size, which has an instep of 34 st, that is 6 st more than are needed for 2 repeats of 14 st.
I suggest you frame the foot designs by working the first and last 3 st in black, and that will center your designs.Bunny Op Sock Designed and knit by Laura Andersson, Ph.D
