Twist Collective Issue 30 March 2018 eBook

This downloadable knitting PDF from Twist Collective presents Issue 30 from March 2018, featuring 18 distinct knitting patterns ranging from socks and accessories to garments. Each design showcases varied techniques and stitch work suitable for knitters of different skill levels.

42nd Street Socks

What is Being Made: 42nd Street is a cuff-down sock pattern designed by Elizabeth A. Decker. These socks feature stitch pattern work presented in chart form, offering a structured approach to sock construction from the leg down through the foot.

Finished Measurements:

• Foot circumference: 7 ¼ (8 ½) inches / 18.5 (21.5) cm
• Leg length to top of heel: 6 ½ inches / 16.5 cm

Techniques Used: The pattern employs cuff-down construction, a fundamental sock-knitting method where knitters begin at the leg opening and work downward toward the foot. Chart-based stitch patterns guide the colorwork or textural elements. The design uses stitch markers rather than needle numbering to help orient knitters within the pattern repeats, making it accessible for various knitting methods.

Construction Methods: 42nd Street can be worked on double-pointed needles, two circular needles, or one long circular needle using the Magic Loop technique, offering flexibility based on knitter preference.

Stitches Used: The pattern incorporates 1x1 Twisted Rib stitch as a foundational element, providing elasticity and structure typical of quality sock cuffs.

Materials: The suggested yarn is Cascade Yarns Heritage Sock, a premium sock-weight yarn composed of 75% Merino Superwash and 25% Nylon. One hank provides 437 yards / 400 meters per 3 ½ ounces / 100 grams, offering sufficient yardage for a complete pair of socks in the specified sizes.
