Spiral Socks No. 214 – WWII Spiral Socks Free Knitting Pattern

Spiral Socks No. 214

Cast on 72 sts, divide them on 3 (or 4) needles, join and work in ribbing of k 2, p 2, for 4 inches.

SPIRAL PATTERN– K 4, p 4, alternately, for 4 rounds. * At beginning of next round k 5 just once, then p 4, k 4, alternately, to end of round, ending with p 3; p 1 st from next needle, then k 4, p 4, alternately, for 3 more rounds. Repeat from *, thus moving the pattern 1 st to the left every 4 rounds, until the sock measures 22 inches. At this point try sock on foot, to determine the exact length required before toe; work more if a longer sock is required.

TOE– K 1 round plain.

1st decreasing round: * k 6, k 2 tog, repeat from * to end of round (9 decreases). K 3 rounds even.

2nd decreasing round: * k 5, k 2 tog, repeat from * to end of round. K 3 rounds even.
