 Froot
Loop Pattern (Worked in the round
over a multiple of 7 sts):
Round 1: [RT, p1, close loop, p1]
to end.
Round 2: [K2, p1, k3, p1] to end.
Round 3: [RT, p1, k3, p1] to end.
Round 4: Work as for Round 2.
Repeat these 4 rounds for Froot Loop Pattern.
m1p: Make 1
purl stitch: Insert left needle, from back
to front, under strand of yarn which runs between
last stitch on left needle and first stitch
on right needle; purl this stitch. (Stitch
will be twisted.)
RT (Right Twist): K2tog, but do not drop sts
from left needle; insert right needle between
sts just worked together and k into first st
again; drop both sts from left needle.
Close Loop: Insert right needle into third
st on left needle and draw this st over first
2 sts on left needle; k1, yo, k1.
Close Loop Heel Variation: Insert right needle
into third st on left needle and draw this
st over first 2 sts on left needle; k1, m1p,
k1.
Close Loop Toe Variation:
Insert right needle into third st on left needle
and draw this st over first 2 sts on left needle;
k1, m1, k1.

CUFF
CO 63 sts.
Divide sts evenly between
3 needles, placing 21 sts on each needle.
Join to begin working in the round, being
careful not to twist.
Note: If you prefer to work the cuff and
heel using 5 needles instead of 4, be sure
each needle holds a multiple of 7 sts.
Round 1: [K2 tbl, p1, k1 tbl, p1, k1 tbl,
p1] 9 times.
Repeat this round until work measures 1 inch.
LEG
Work Rounds 1-4 of Froot Loop Pattern
14 times or until leg is desired length to
top of heel, ending with Round 4. Pattern
repeat will be worked 9 times in each round.
Note: In the next round, the heel variation
of Close Loop will be worked over the sts
that will form the heel flap.
Next Round: [RT, p1, close loop, p1] 4 times,
[RT, p1, close loop heel variation, p1] 4
times, RT, p1, close loop heel variation,
do not work last st; slip this st to beginning
of next needle.
Slip last 31 sts worked to one needle; heel
flap will be worked back and forth over these
31 sts. Divide remaining 32 sts between 2
needles, placing 17 sts on first needle and
15 sts on second; these sts will be held
for instep.
HEEL FLAP
Work sts of heel flap as follows:
Row 1 [WS]: Sl 1, [k1, p1 tbl, k1, p2 tbl,
k1, p1 tbl] 4 times, k1, p1 tbl.
Row 2 [RS]: Sl 1, [p1, k1 tbl, p1, k2 tbl,
p1, k1 tbl] 4 times, p1, k1 tbl.
Repeat these 2 rows 10 times more, or until
heel flap is desired depth. Work Row 1 once
more.
  TURN
HEEL
Row 1 [RS]: Sl1, k17, ssk, k1. Turn work.
Row 2 [WS]: Sl1, p6, p2tog, p1. Turn work.
Row 3 [RS]: Sl1, k7, ssk, k1. Turn work.
Row 4 [WS]: Sl1, p8, p2tog, p1. Turn work.
Row 5 [RS]: Sl1, k9, ssk, k1. Turn work.
Row 6 [WS]: Sl1, p10, p2tog, p1. Turn work.
Row 7 [RS]: Sl1, k11, ssk, k1. Turn work.
Row 8 [WS]: Sl1, p12, p2tog, p1. Turn work.
Row 9 [RS]: Sl1, k13, ssk, k1. Turn work.
Row 10 [WS]: Sl1, p14, p2tog, p1. Turn work.
Row 11 [RS]: Sl1, k15, ssk, k1. Turn work.
Row 12 [WS]: Sl1, p16, p2tog, p1. Turn work.
K remaining 19 sts of heel flap.
GUSSET
Using a new needle and continuing from end
of heel flap sts, pick up and k 11 sts (1
st in each slipped st) along adjacent edge
of heel flap, and 2 sts in space between
top of heel flap and beginning of instep
sts. 13 sts. This needle will be designated
Needle 1.
Note: If
you have worked more or fewer rows in the
heel flap, you will have a different number
of sts on Needles 1 and 3.
Work 32 sts of instep over next two needles
(Needles 2 and 3) in pattern as set.
Using another needle, pick up and k 2 sts
in space between end of instep sts and top
of heel flap, and 11 sts (1 st in each slipped
st) along remaining edge of heel flap; k
first 9 sts of heel flap. 22 sts. This needle
will be designated Needle 4. Slip last 10
sts of heel flap to Needle 1; this point
(bottom center of heel) is beginning of round.
77 sts: 23 sts on Needle 1, 17 sts on Needle
2, 15 sts on Needle 3, 22 sts on Needle 4.
Round 1: K to last 3 sts of Needle 1, k2tog,
k1; work all sts on Needles 2 and 3 in pattern
as set; k1, ssk, k to end of Needle 4.
Round 2: K to end of Needle 1; work all sts
on Needles 2 and 3 in pattern as set; k to
end of Needle 4.
Repeat these 2 rounds 5 times more, or until
65 sts remain; 17 sts each on Needles 1 and
2, 15 sts on Needle 3, 16 sts on Needle 4.
Next Round: K to last 3 sts of Needle 1,
k2tog, k1; work all sts on Needles 2 and
3 in pattern as set; k to end of Needle 4.
64 sts: 16 sts each on Needles 1 and 4, 17
sts on Needle 2, 15 sts on Needle 3.
FOOT
Continue in pattern, working sts on
Needles 1 and 4 in stockinette st and sts
on Needles 2 and 3 in pattern as set, until
foot measures 2 inches less than desired
length to end of toe, ending with Round 4
of Froot Loop Pattern.
Next Round: K to end of Needle
1, [k4, close loop toe variation] 4 times,
k4; k to end of Needle 4; k sts on Needle
1 once more.
This point is now beginning of round. The
needle which had been Needle 2 now becomes
Needle 1, Needle 3 becomes Needle 2, etc.
TOE
Decrease Round: K1, ssk, k to end
of Needle 1; k to last 3 sts of Needle
2, k2tog, k1; k1, ssk, k to end of Needle
3; k to last 3 sts of Needle 4, k2tog,
k1. 4 sts decreased.
K 1 round.
Repeat these 2 rounds 11 times more. 16 sts.
Slip sts from Needle 2 to Needle 1, and from
Needle 3 to Needle 4. Graft sts on Needle
1 to sts on Needle 4. |
