Now & Next Socks
Same, different, rough, smooth
Your lens on life and mine are not the same. We may be living the same circumstances but experience them very differently. Things can also look quite different during a period of challenge. What was once smooth and predictable can become rough, disorganized. These two states of being, even and uneven, often occur right alongside each other, touching different parts of us at any given time. A smooth path for some can create a rough road for others. Repetitive knit patterns on a textured sock help me bring reflections like this into view. In stockinette, the colors in a yarn behave one way; add a few purl stitches and those same colors look completely different! Tame and textured; now and next. Both are valuable and worthy of our energy and attention.
Sock Construction: Cuff-down, ribbed cuff, heel flap and gusset, left and right foot pattern, rounded toe.
- Pattern includes a unique method for closing the toe - NO Kitchener Stitch!
Sample Yarn (pictured): Other Worldly Yarns Cordelia in “Cauldron”; Fingering weight / 80% Corriedale, 20% Nylon / 1 skein has 437 yards in 100 grams; 60g used for the sample
Sample Gauge: 32 sts and 44 rounds in 4 in (10 cm) of stockinette stitch, unblocked on US 1/2.25mm needle
Sizes: 1 (2, 3) with 7 (8, 9) in / 18 (20, 23) cm foot circumference
Sample shown is size 3 for a US Women’s Shoe Size 10.5 with 10.25 in (26 cm) foot length, 1.75 in (4.5 cm) cuff. Cuff, leg, and foot can be knit to fit; adding length will increase the yardage needed.
Needles & Notions: 32 in (80 cm) circular needles in US 1/2.25mm (for sock cuff) and US 1.5/2.5mm (for sock body) for Magic Loop, or needles for preferred method, tapestry needle, scissors, removable stitch markers (optional)
This pattern gives instruction for the Magic Loop method, knitting cuff down, one sock at a time on a single circular needle. The Needle ends are referred to as N1 and N2. Adjust the instructions to your preferred knitting method (DPNs, 2 circulars, two at a time, etc.).
