possible patterns for St Pat's Sox

on Pink Lemon Twist Mar 14, 06

i saw green sox that would be great for St Pat's Day

they utilized the Cloverleaf Eyelet Rib

by Barbara Walker

pattern found in A Treasury of Knitting Patterns

good thing i read the rest of the epic about sox

hhmmmm

this MITE be a future sock pattern for me

it will be a math experiment to get the pattern

she added a few extra purls

but ended up with uneven # for instep & heel

i will be doing these (AS ALWAYS) on 2 circs

so i will have to make a few adjustments on the numbers

she also posted a tip about the stair step

decreases on gussets

she got the info from Dave
Slip one knitwise, slip one purlwise,

slip both stitches back to the left needle

and knit through the back.

THEN - on the next round (the "work even" round)

you knit this stitch through the back so its twisted.

will try this tip when i get to a gusset decrease on

a pair of socks

in the mean time
