Achird

Toe up socks with hexagonally wrapped twist stitch stars, and short row heels. The instructions are in the magic loop format, but can be adapted for any style of needle. The toe chart uses colored boxes to differentiate sizes, so colored printing is recommended.

The finished sock circumferences are 5.75 (6.75, 7.75, 8.75, 9.75) inches, 14.5 (17, 19.5, 22, 24.4) cm. See Choosing a hand knit sock size on Kate Atherley’s blog for guidance.

Notions Required • Tapestry needle • 2 locking stitch markers for heel • 1-2 stitch markers to mark instep/sole division if not using magic loop
