Turn a Corner Socks | Knitting pattern and Optional kit

Here is the latest design of Christine Guest, the Turn a Corner Socks ! These beautiful Socks start with a Disappearing Cast on, then increase at the corners to a flat square of stockinette.

Toe shaping starts by slowing the rate of increase at the two side corners. The foot shaping is in two vees, increased in the center of the foot and instep, decreased on both sides. The heel is formed by short-row wedges, all of which include central increases.

To keep the gaps between the wedges to a minimum, complete rows are worked between each wedge. The leg is worked the same way as the foot. The top of the sock is two filled-in stockinette triangles.

Then it is finished with 1/1 ribbing and finally Jeny’s Surprisingly Stretchy bind-off. The Anklet variation is worked the same until after the heel. Instead of a leg portion, the vees are filled in simultaneously, raising the back of the heel into a triangle.

Then, like the sock, it is finished with some 1,1 ribbing and the same bind off.

GAUGE

32 stitches x 53 rows = 10 cm (4'') in Stockinette Stitch after blocking.

NOTE

The initial square section uses the Disappearing Cast on (Emily Ocker's Cast on, or the Pinhole Cast on work too). The ribbing is bound off in Jeny’s Surprisingly Stretchy Bind off. Since these socks are knit on the bias, the fit may be surprising. I recommend a lifeline (threading a thin, slippery waste yarn through the stitches so that it is easy to rip out the sock back to that specific place) at the end of the toe shaping. When the sock is a few inches long, slip the stitches onto waste yarn and try it on to make sure the width is comfortable. If not, rip back to the toe and use another size.

Note about markers Point marker: marker located at the middle of the instep and the middle of the sole.

Notch marker: marker located at each side of the foot.

ENJOY! ♥
