This pattern
is worked differently for right and left socks,
so that the lace pattern is always aligned with the outside front
of the sock. Ribbing,
heel and toe are worked
the same for both socks. Wristlets
are worked differently for each
hand, including ribbing.
Working with Two Circular Needles
This pattern is written for
the magic loop technique. It can easily be adapted for
working with two circular needles as written - simply
use 1 circular needle for each side of the magic loop.
Working with 5 Double pointed needles
For socks, place stitches
from the first side of
the magic loops so that the entire lace panel of 17 stitches are
on one DPN (on the first DPN for right sock, on the second DPN for
left sock), the remaining 13(15, 17, 19) stitches of the front of
the sock are on the other
DPN. Divide the 30(32,
34, 36) stitches of the second side evenly across
the third and fourth DPNs.
For wristlets, divide stitches
onto 4 DPN's as follows: 9 (11, 13, 15) stitches on first
and fourth DPN,
17 stitches each on second
and third DPN.
M1: Knit one stitch into back of bar
running between last stitch and next stitch.
SK2P: Slip
1 knitwise, k2tog, pass
slipped st over. 2 sts
decreased.
