Our next GPY sock club sock is by Jocelyn, one of the yarn doctors at GPY. Although the pattern calls for a sport weight, I’m going to knit this up in a fingering weight. The initial 64 stitch cast on is my typical fingering cast on. Given the ribbed lace, I’ll knit this entire sock using US 1.0 (2.25 mm) needles.

Summary

• I am knitting these socks on 2 circs.

• when resetting for the heel flap, I’m moving the first 18 stitches of each needle to the other needle as I want to work the heel flap on a single needle. I will maintain markers for start and middle of the round in case I need to reset again.
