I haven’t actually seen this pattern (it’s a free download though), just the pictures of socks made from it, and some photos of the process. The entrelac-like linking of units appears to be domino knitting, but is all one unbroken strand.

This is really soft but strong yarn. Easy on the hands.

5-18-10: I’ve completed one sock and a guide can be found on my blog pdf diagram here. Don’t think of this as a detailed pattern! It’s just a guide and you’ll need to puzzle it out yourself. Note: I just updated the pdf this evening to make a correction. I’ll probably have more…

Hints: I cast on 21 sts per unit, four units around. I worked the domino units entrelac-style, meaning that at the top of each unit, I picked up stitches down its left side and then went on to the next unit.

I never worked any units from the back side because that is a drag. Instead, after a round of units, I’d knit around the whole thing, picking up stitches as needed, so I’d be set to go for the next round of units.

The heel is my own construction but I have to give a nod to Natalia Vasilieva’s Lonely Hearts Club from Think Outside the Sox, which is a similar construction but entirely in entrelac. Great minds think alike! I hope to knit that one soon.

I had to enlarge the units around the heel (23 sts), then do a normal round (21 sts) then reduce them around the foot (19 sts) in order to create the effect of a gusset and allow room for the heel.

At the toe, I drastically decreased the last units to make them less peaked; it was like a combo between a regular unit and a half unit. The toe has decreases in the valleys between units, until it gets small enough to cinch off. I expect a truly neurotic individual could continue to make these sorts of units until they cease to exist, and thus have a purely domino-unit sock.

For the cuff, the first time around I just went back and picked up stitches to make half units. But the second time, I discovered I could make half units in reverse right at the start. This will come in handy later; I have some ideas on what to do with that, but details will have to wait.
