Valentine Socks

Lion Brand® TiffanyTM - Lion® Cashmere Blend

GAUGE:

20 sts + 26 rows = 4" [10cm] in St st (k every st when working in the rnd; k on RS, p on WS when working flat). BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

STITCH EXPLANATION:

SKP (slip, knit, pass)
A decrease worked by slipping one stitch, knitting the next stitch, then passing the slipped stitch over the stitch just knit.

M1 (make 1)
An increase worked by lifting the horizontal thread lying between needles, placing it onto the left needle and working it through the back loop.

GRAFTING
Holding the 2 needles parallel with WS of sock tog, thread a large-eyed blunt needle with yarn tail and

  1. Insert blunt needle as if to k through the first st on the front needle and let st drop from needle.
  2. Insert blunt needle into second st on the front needle as if to p and leave st on needle
  3. Insert blunt needle into first st on the back needle as if to p and let st drop from needle
  4. Insert blunt needle as if to k through second st on the back needle and leave st on needle. Rep steps 1-4 until all sts have been worked. Adjust tension as necessary.
