The older name for the place we live, is Malfors. As we often find our place of serenity in our homes, I thought Malfors Socks would be a great name for these socks. The socks are knit from the toe up to the cuff with a gusset-heel flap heel. For that kind of heel, it is important to start with the gusset in time, therefore I have included tips and tricks on sizing. I recommend you to read about choosing size and the importance of having the correct gauge in the pattern.
Sizes
XS (S) M (L) XL
The sock’s circumference around the ball of the foot is
13.5 (15.5) 18 (20) 22.5, to fit foot circumferences of
14.5-19.5 (16.5-20.5) 19-23 (21-25) 23.5-27.5 cm
The length of the sock is adjustable.
Gauge
36 sts and 45 rnds = 10x10 cm in stocking stitch after blocking
Needles & Notions
4 stitch markers
1 unique stitch marker for BOR m
Tapestry needle
Needles for working on a small circumference in size to obtain gauge, e.g. circular needles of at least 80 cm, DPNs, 23 cm circulars, or CrazyTrios/FlexiFlops
When knitting the sample, gauge was obtained on 2.25 mm needles.
Note that I am a tight knitter so you may need to go down one or two needle sizes to obtain gauge.
Yarn used
Fingering weight sock yarn 75% wool/25% nylon approx 400 m per 100 g
Metreage:
MC 120 (135) 160 (180) 200 metres
CC 100 (115) 135 (150) 170 metres
I think the socks look extra beautiful if you choose a self-striping or variegated yarn for MC and a solid/semi-solid yarn for CC.
Sizes
X-Small (Small) Medium (Large) X-Large
The sock is designed to have negative ease around the foot of 1-5 cm / 0.5-2”. That means that the socks are designed to fit feet with a circumference around the ball of the foot of:
14.5-19.5 (16.5-20.5) 19-23 (21-25) 23.5-27.5 cm.
The length of the sock is adjustable.
For a good fit, knit the socks 1-2 cm / 0.5-0.75” shorter than the foot length.
