Gauge
Can be adjusted by changing either yarn weight or needle size, 32 stitches should be

Directions
TOE (KITTY):
With MC and two DPNs, use Judy’s Magic Cast-on to CO 12 st on each of two DPNs.
Round 1: Knit
Round 2: *K1, m1, k to last st on needle, m1, k1; repeat from * to end of round. (4
st increased)
Round 3: *K1, m1, k to last st on needle, m1, k1; repeat from * to end of round. (4
st increased)
Repeat these three rounds until you have 32 st on each DPN (64 st total).
Redistribute stitches onto DPNs or other needle of choice to continue in the round.
Begin chart in the round (see page 4), use only first 32 stitches (half of the stitches)
for chart. For the other half of the stitches (other 32 st) knit in MC, these non-
charted stitches will become the side of the sock where the heel will go.
FOOT:
Once the chart is finished, continue knitting in the round in the CC until the sock
measures 1.5” less than the length of the foot. (So if the foot is 8” knit until sock
measures 6.5” in length)
Knit across the charted 32 stiches, and place them on hold – until the heel is
completed.
HEEL:
The non-charted 32 stitches will become the heel and are knit flat and in short rows
as follows:
Knit 29 st, wrap and turn.
Purl until 3 st left on needle, wrap and turn.
