Socks In Three Sizes by Joan Fernbach
A pattern in three sizes (women's, men's, and children's) using one strand of WoolEase or other DK weight yarn. Will fit about a women's size 9, men's size 11, children's size 2.
Variations:
Use up leftover yarn by making multicolor stripes, make heels and toes a different color, use a two color slip stitch pattern for the ankle part, use any two or four stitch texture pattern for the ankle part and/or the top of the foot part, make entire ankle part in rib, etc.
Materials:
Requires about one skein for the women's (medium) size.
One set of size 6 dp needles.
Gauge: About 5st/inch.
Instructions are for women's size with men's size and children's size in parentheses.
Cast on 40 (48, 32) stitches, dividing them on three needles as follows:
10-20-10 (12-24-12, 8-16-8).
Join, being careful not to twist.
Work K2P2 rib for 2 (2, 1½) inches.
Continue in stockinette or pattern until piece measures 6 (8, 4½) inches, or desired length.
Begin Heel Flap:
Work across first needle. Turn.
Now, working back and forth only on the stitches on the two needles with fewer stitches (combining them on one needle if you feel more comfortable) and turning the work each row:
P one row (wrong side). Slip 1, knit 1 for one row (right side) until you can count 7 (8, 6) larger stitches up the slip one rib - 14 (16, 12) rows.
End with a wrong side row (right side facing you ready to begin).
Turn Heel:
Slip 1, knit 12 (14, 9), slip 1, knit 1, passed slipped stitch over knit stitch, turn.
Slip 1, purl 6 (7, 4), purl 2 together, turn.
Slip 1, knit 6 (7, 4), slip 1, knit 1, psso, turn.
Repeat last two rows until all stitches have been worked, then work right side row.
Gussets:
Pick up 10 (12, 8) stitches on left side of flap, work across stitches on center needle, pick up 10 (12, 8) stitches on right side of flap. Knit half the heel stitches onto this needle, put the other half onto the needle where you picked up the first group of stitches. Knit one row around.
Decrease Row:
Knit to within 3 stitches of end of first needle, slip 1, knit 1, psso, knit 1.
Work center needle.
On third needle, knit 1, knit 2 together, finish row.
Knit one row even.
Repeat these two rows until you are back to the number of stitches you cast on (40, 48, 32).
Knit around until 81/2 (10, 61/2) inches, or about 11/2 inches short of desired length of foot. Work across first needle so that you are ready to start with center needle.
Toe:
Decrease Row:
Center needle: Knit 1, knit 2 together, knit to 3 stitches from end, slip 1, knit 1, psso, knit 1.
Needle 2: Knit 1, knit 2 together, knit to end.
Needle 3: Knit until 3 stitches from end, slip 1, knit 1, psso, knit 1.
Work one round even.
(Stitches from Needle 2 and 3 may be put onto one needle if you find it easier; if so, decreases would happen at beginning and end of that needle.)
Repeat these two rounds until you have 16 (24,12) stitches left altogether.
Weave top and bottom of toe together using Kitchener stitch.
