Elizabeth Zimmerman's Sewn Bind Off can be found in her book Knitting Without Tears and online at http://www.knitty.com/ISSUEsummer06/FEATsum06TT.html © 2015 Cascade Yarns - All Rights Reserved. Begin Pattern: CO 24 sts (12 sts per needle) using Judy's Magic Cast-On or other preferred toe-up method. Knit one round. Toe Increase: Rnd 1 (Both Needles): K2, M1L, Knit to 2 sts before end of needle, M1R, K2. (4 st increase) Round 2: Knit all sts. Repeat these 2 rnds to 60 sts. Foot: Needle 1: Knit every row Needle 2: Row 1: *[P2, K2] repeat from * to last 2 sts, P2. Row 2: Knit Repeat these rounds to the length of recipient's foot where his/her back of the arch meets the heel. (Front of the ankle) Note: This variation makes ribbing that makes the purls “sit up” with the knit sts. It is also a great way to speed up the some times daunting task of ribbing! Gusset: Needle 2: Continue in Ribbing as above. Round 1 (Needle 1): K1, M1L, K to 1 stitch from end, M1R, K1. Round 2 (Needle 1): Knit Repeat these 2 rnds 9 times. Note: Needle 1 will have 48 sts, Needle 2 will have 30 sts. Sts on Needle 2 will not be worked for the rest of the heel, so put them aside in whichever way you prefer. Heel (Needle 1 only): Set-up row: Knit 15 sts, PM, SSK, Knit 16 sts, pm (15 sts remain unworked) Row 1: Turn, P2tog, P across to marker. Row 2: Turn, SSK, K across to marker Repeat these 2 rows until 6 sts remain between markers, ending with purl side. Heel flap: Row 1: Turn, Sl 1 knitwise, K across heel, pick up 11 sts along decrease edge. Row 2: Turn, Sl 1 purlwise, P back across heel, pick up 11 sts along decrease edge. (28 sts between markers) Note: In the following rows, you will be working the sts on each side of the marker together. I find the markers to be a bit of a pain at this point, so I take them out, but if you need to keep them to see which sts you need to work together, you'll have to take the marker out before combining the sts and replace it before each turn. Row 1: Turn, Sl 1 knitwise, knit across to 1 st before marker, SSK. Row 2: Turn, Sl 1 purlwise, P1, Sl 1 to last 2 sts before marker, P1, P2tog Repeat these 2 rows until all the sts on Needle 1 have been worked, ending with purl row. Complete Heel and begin working in the round again as follows: Turn, Sl 1 knitwise, knit across Needle 2, M1 st at end of needle, twisting to close gap between needles, continue in Ribbed Pattern across Needle 1, M1 at beginning of Needle 2 (again twisting to close gap), Knit across. Note: These add on sts are to close the gaps between the 2 needles. If you don't have gaps, skip this step. © 2015 Cascade Yarns - All Rights Reserved. Leg and Cuff: Note: Needle 1 will now be incorporated into the Ribbing pattern. Row 1 (Needle 1): *[P2, K2] repeat from * to last 2 sts P2. Needle 2: *[K2, P2] repeat from *to last 2 sts, K2. Note: If you have more than 30 sts on the needle, K2tog at beginning and/or end of needle to get back to 30. Row 2: Knit all sts. Finishing: Continue in pattern for 3.5” more or desired length. Change to 1x1 ribbing for ½”. BO using E.Z.'s Sewn Bind Off or preferred method. Weave in ends. © 2015 Cascade Yarns - All Rights Reserved. .
