Knit + Crochet: Two-Way Socks
Combines knitting and crocheting. Get the best of both worlds: a sturdy crocheted toebox and heel AND good fit through the knitted rib instep and leg.
Instructions for any yarn weight. No matter what yarn weight you use, the fit will be just right every time.
The Highlights:
• 24 step-by-step photos
• Toe-up construction
• Work in any yarn weight
• No need to match gauge
• Fit-as-you-stitch instructions yield a perfect fit every time
• Guidance for transitions from crochet to knit and back to crochet
Here’s how it’s done:
First you crochet a chain that spans a certain number of toes.
Then you make increases until the toebox fits over your toes.
When the toebox is the length shown in a step-by-step photo you start the knitted instep. The instructions throughly explain how to transition from crochet to knit, and how to get a nicely fitted instep.
Then it’s back to crochet for the heel, which you also work to fit your heel before turning … and so it goes until you cast off at the top of the leg band.
