I love to create socks during the Fall. When I found this beautiful yellow color, it reminded me of my tree outside that is changing color right now. During the spring and summer, my tree is a beautiful green, then in the fall, it turns to a gorgeous yellow.

KITCHENER INSTRUCTIONS
Prepare: You will need 2 knitting needles (a size 8 when knitting with thick yarns, or a size 2 when knitting with thin yarns). Hold the needles parallel with the tips pointing in the same direction, wrong sides (purl side) facing each other.
Caution: Be sure that the stitches are set up on the needles correctly. See above graphic. The stitches should sit exactly as in the graphic above.
Set up for kitchener stitch: Insert the tapestry needle into the first stitch on the needle closest to you as if to purl (from right to left), pull it through, leave the stitch on the needle.
Insert the needle into the first stitch on the back needle as if to knit (from left to right), leave the stitch on the needle. Pull the yarn through.
Needles are set up for the kitchener stitch, now follow the next 4 steps.
Step 1
Insert the needle into the first stitch on the front needle as if to knit. Slip stitch off the needle.
Step 2
Insert the needle into the next stitch on the front needle as if to purl. Leave stitch on the needle. Gently pull on the working yarn to snug up the stitch. Do not pull too much.
Step 3
Insert the needle into the first stitch on the back needle as if to purl, and slip it off the needle.
Step 4
Insert the needle into the next stitch on the back needle as if to knit. Leave this stitch on the needle. Snug up the yarn by pulling gently on the working yarn.
Repeat steps 1-4. At the end, the needles will have 2 stitches remaining. Proceed to step 1 and then to step 3.
Weave in the ends to the wrong side of the item.

Si ustedes me pueden ayudar por favor mi correo personal es somicalu@hotmail.com. gracias.
I’m just completing my first pair of socks on the KB fine gauge adjustable sock loom, and I’d love to try this beautiful pattern next. Is there a way I can adapt it for the fine gauge sock loom (it’s the only loom I have right now)?
Thank you.
Also, what is a “flexible cast on”? So far, I only know the cast-on method that comes with the KB sock loom DVD.
The ewrap is a flexible cast on.
We will need to calculate the number of pegs needed for your size foot on that loom. Do you know more or less how many pegs you use for your size foot?
I use 52-54 pegs on the fine gauge sock loom.
