Once Around the Top Socks
For the May-July 2012 issue of CAST ON Magazine, I published the first “Around” sock pattern titled “Once Around the Ankle Sock”. This is a new version with the cable going around the top of the sock instead of at the ankle. At first glance, this sock appears to be a simple, if stylish, traditional sock. However, on closer inspection, you think, “Wait a minute. How did they do that? Cables don’t run horizontally”. Beginning with a provisional cast on, the cable band is worked and then grafted together using the Kitchener Stitch. Stitches are then picked up on the bottom edge of this cable the remainder of the sock is worked “normally” from the top down. These socks are fun to knit and even more fun to wear.
