Two at Once, Toe Up, Gusset Heel Socks

I finished my socks!


This is what I did to make them:











Size: Ladies shoe size 7
Gauge: 6.5 st/9 rows = 1 inch
Needle: 2.75 mm (2 circulars, can be different lengths)
Yarn: Lion Brand Magic Stripes (I used 2 skeins just so I could use 1 for each sock, but 1 skein
would probably be enough)
Remember - you change needles or yarn, but never both at once!

Cast on 8 stitches for each sock.

R1 - Needle 1 - Knit across
Needle 2 – Knit across
R2 - Needle 1 - K1, M1, Knit across to last stitch, M1, K1
Needle 2 – K1, M1, Knit across to last stitch, M1, K1


Repeat R1 & R2 until you have 26 stitches on each needle for each sock.

Toe increases are done and now we’re ready for the body of the sock.













Knit around on both needles for 30 rows until sock measures 6” from the toe and the sock reaches the ankle.






























Gusset increases:

R3- Needle 1 – Knit across
Needle 2 – K 1, M1, Knit across to last
stitch, M1, K1
R4- Needle 1 – Knit across
Needle 2 - Knit across
Repeat R3 & R4 until there are 46 stitches on Needle 2 for each sock.

Heel:

• Needle 1 will rest as you knit the heels.
• Do the 1st sock’s heel completely and then do the 2nd sock’s heel.
• Slipped stitches are done purlwise (as if you were going to purl)
• When I SSK, I usually slip the 1st one knitwise and the 2nd one purlwise, then insert left needle into front of both and knit together

Knit across

You can see the light blue stitches in the middle are the ones I’m working with and the dark blue and white ones on either end are the ones waiting

You should now have 26 stitches on the bottom needle again












Knit around on both needles for 16 rows (or until the sock is as tall as you want)


























Ribbing:

Needle 1 - *Knit 2, Purl 2* across
Needle 2 - *Purl 2, Knit 2* across

Repeat for 8 rows.

Cast off with stretchy cast off.
