Product Details
The main pattern on these socks uses a cunning combination of yarnovers and decreases to create a lacy motif which has the the criss-crossing look of entrelac, but without all that tedious turning-the-work-every-few-stitches which entrelac requires.
Skills required
knitting, purling
yarnovers
increasing, decreasing
working small circumferences in the round (DPNs, two circulars, or magic loop)
short rows with wrapping and turning and working the wraps back into the knitting
Judy’s Magic Cast-On or other method which allows you to cast on in a closed tube
Jeny’s Surprisingly Stretchy Bind Off or other method which creates a stretchy bind-off edge
Size information
Faux entrelac pattern is quite stretchy and sock will expand to fit a range of foot measurements. Finished measurements are therefore quite variable.
