Slip Stitch Knitting

NOTE:For a lighter sock, using sportweight yarn that will
fit a women’s shoe size 8, see the Men’s Socks pattern. Thanks to Norma W. for
discovering that.

SOCK TOP - This sock top is 7 inches in length.
Ch 30 (ch more for a longer sock top, less for a shorter sock top)
ROW 1 - 1 sc in 2nd ch from hook, 1 sc in each ch to end. (29 sc)
ROW 2 - 1 sc (through the back loop of st only)
in each 29 sc, ch 1, turn. (Note: do not count the ch 1 in your stitch count on
all rows throughout the pattern.)
ROWS 3 to 35 - Same as Row 2.
(Add more rows for a larger sock, omit some rows for a smaller sock.)

ROW 36 - 1 sc in each 29 sc. (Be sure to do all stitches on
this row through the back loops only, too.)
ROW 37 - (Joining row)
ss to join Row 36 to Row 1. Turn inside out.

You now have a tube shape of ribbing. To start the foot of the sock,
with right side facing you, ch 1, 1 sc at base of ch 1, 1 sc along each end of ribbing rows, ss to join to
first sc at beg. (36 sc)

HEEL
ROW 1 - 1 sc in first sc at the base of ch 1,

ROW 13 - 1 sc in next 6 sc, 2 sc tog twice, fold heel in half with wrong side
of heel facing you, (See picture on left.)
(Next, you are basically sewing along the bottom of the heel to shape it, if you prefer
and would find it easier, just sew it. I prefer to slip stitch it together as I don’t
care for sewing. Continue on with crochet where you ended sewing)
ss the next sc to the 6th sc on this Row, ss the next sc to the 5th sc of this Row,
ss the next sc to the 4th sc of this Row, ss the next sc to the 3rd sc of this Row,
ss the next sc to the 2nd sc of this Row, ss the last sc to the 1st sc of this Row,
ch 1, turn heel to the right side.

to see a hand drawn illustration on how to do it. It is for the baby socks, however it will still
show you how it’s done.

edge of heel rows, 1 sc in next 18 sc, place 13 sc evenly along edge of heel
