i emailed before and you asked me what would be nice . Sorry about not answering right away. It just that my daughter is a full grown woman and the hat was just to tight for comfort. It could be a little bigger as it would not fit a person very well if they were a larger person the size is great for a smaller person. There should be some way that there could be a larger size on the outside same style loom maybe the out side rim bigger? With the two same rings on the inside that exist now? I have made several things on this loom and love it. I tried to use the inside ring by itself and could not because there were no groves on the outside of the pegs. The size of the loom on the inside ring would be about the right size for a new born or a premie, Too bad. Thank you for your concern about this. Valerie Vaughan

NOTIONS: tapestry needle, stitch holder.
GAUGE: 15 sts x 23 rows = 2″x 2″ stockinette
SIZE: Men’s (adjustable for foot size)
ABBREVIATIONS
st(s)= stitch(es)
p= purl stitch
k= knit stitch (u-stitch)
rnd= round
rep= repeat
w&t= wrap and turn
BO= bind off
INSTRUCTIONS
Cast on 64 sts in color A, prepare to work in the round.
Cuff and Leg
Rnd 1-25 (or 2.5”): In color A, *k2, p2, k, p, k, p; rep from * to end of rnd.
Rnd 26-80 (or 4.5”): In color B, k 64 sts.
Heel
Join color C and use color C for heel. Do not cut color B.
Place peg markers on pegs 1 and 32. Pegs 1-32 are all the pegs that will be worked for the heel. Pegs 12-21 are the pegs that will be left unwrapped during the w&t process.
Refer to Short-row heel/toe instructions at the end of the pattern for specific details.
Foot
Work appropriate length for foot size (5.5” for men’s 10.5 US size foot) in the following pattern (sample used 70 rnds);
For the first round, * knit in color C from peg 1 to 32. Next, knit pegs 64 to 33 in color B. You will now have two yarn strands between pegs 32 and 33.
For the next round, cross over the yarn strands twice (one complete twist) and knit in color C from peg 32 to 1. Next, knit in color B from peg 33 to 64. The two yarn strands are now between pegs 1 and 64*. Again, cross over the yarn strands twice to prepare for the next row.

Create the toe in the exact same way as the heel using color C. Refer to Short-row heel/toe instructions at the end of pattern for specific details.
After working the toe, knit one round in color C.
Finishing

Can I use this pattern with the new oval plastic sock looms
-
Your Lulu Headband has a stitch called “Icord”
the instructions for the Icord is: over the first two pegs (peg 1 and @), work a 2 st icord that is 35 rows long. Cut yarn and join yarn at peg 3.
Could you explain this in more detail or can you direct me to a video that I can see how it is done. -
I went to that site and that still doesn’t answer my questions.
What am i to do now. -
It just brings me back to the Lulu headband.
-
I went on youtube and found out how to do a icord.
-
What is in parenthesis on row1 and on row 2
What Zoe’s that men is that what you do for larger size? -
Does the instruction, “work one clockwise and one counter clockwise” refer to the left and right sock? Are the rows knit in the round continuing the same way for the entire sock?
-
Hi. What weight is this yarn please? I am in the uk and we dont have this brand so i need to find if this a 5 or 6 weight yarn.
-
So what is on the outside of the parenthesis is the border stitch for the row and what is in the parenthesis is the repeat stitches for row?
Can this pattern be used either sock loom2.?
. -
can I buy a hard printed copy of your patterns as I don’t have a printer available and it would be easier for me as I am can not write the direction down?
-
Thanks
-
ive done the cuff and now I’m about to start the heel. what does it mean by turn heel on 26 pegs and work short row shaping, please could you publish exactly what to do?

i recently purchased the his/hers sock loom and i am having difficult time trying to figure out.
i have read about 4 or 5 times and still nothing, i try step by step and still lost.Do you have a tutorial video for this his/hers sock loom???
i see one for everything else, but no his/hers sock loom… thanks for any help given…
i am a beginner, so need from start till finish…
-
This MIGHT become my first pair of loom knit socks!
-
Hi, how would you work the ‘yo’ at the beginning of row 22? Would the first peg end up having two loops on it?
Thanks for your help.
-
I have a question and it relates to the toe section.
For the heel you do the reinforcement and then continue on to do the leg.
When you are doing the toe, do you skip that part? When you have finished the section do you just do the bind off starting from peg 1?
None of the videos explains what is to be done. They just say heel and toe section are done the same.

Semaphore Socks
Summer camp is a fun rite of passage while growing up. It has all the excitement of being away from home, making new friends, and having lots of new adventures. Most camps teach interesting new skills to take home and remember for a lifetime…one of them could be learning to communicate via an old secret code: flag symbols, or semaphore!
An entire alphabet and numbers could be signaled depending on the positioning of these special flags. Although the code is not so much used these days, these sporty socks recall to mind the thrill of learning new adventures, along with all the excitement of summer.
LOOM: Sock Loom EFG (shown at 64 pegs).
YARN: Approx 300 yds of washable sock weight. Lion Brand Sock-Ease Yarn in Marshmallow was used in sample for the MC, Patons Kroy Socks Yarn in Purple Haze was used for the CC. Both are 75% washable wool and 25% nylon.
NOTIONS: Knitting tool, tapestry needle, 2 double pointed needles in size 1 or 2 (used to Kitchener the toe), row counter, measuring tape.
GAUGE: 15 sts x 22 rows= 2” in stockinette.
SIZE: Shown in size 6-7 women. To create a larger, but still narrower size, simply work the foot section to 1.5 inches of desired length, then follow the toe instructions. To create a larger and wider size (size 8-9 women), follow the instructions for using 72 pegs in parenthesis, along with making the foot section the desired length as described previously. Of course, gauge will always be a consideration for a proper fit.
ABBREVIATIONS
MC: main color
CC: contrast color
CO: cast on
WY: working yarn
k: knit
KO: knit off
sts: stitches
rnd(s): round(s)
w&t: wrap and turn (remove loop from the peg and hold it. With working yarn, wrap the peg from the inside of the loom to the outside. You will then knit in the opposite direction.)
BO: bind off
Pattern Notes:
The sample was worked in a freeform colorway style to enhance the feel of the freedom of summertime.
To make the socks match as closely as possible, work one sock normally and then when beginning the second sock, locate the spot on the yarn that resembles the same colorway as where the first sock was started and begin at this point.
All knits were worked as the true knit stitch or U-stitch, not ewrap.
The colorwork sections of this pattern are worked by using the stranded method. Simply carry the yarn not being used behind the pegs. When picking up the next color to be used, bring it up and over the previous yarn. If the yarn not being used will be trailed across more than 3 pegs, make sure to twist it up and over the yarn being used so that the strand will be prevented from trailing too long, thus having the tendency to catch on toes.
*Tip: keep your two yarns being used at an even tension, being careful not to pull too tightly.
Colorwork Chart for 64 Pegs:
Colorwork Chart for 72 Pegs:
INSTRUCTIONS
Set knitting loom to 64 (72) pegs. Using CC, CO in a clockwise direction to work in the round.
Cuff
Rnds 1-10: k.
Rnds 11-18(26): Using MC, k.
Continue to heel. (If you prefer a longer sock, repeat Rnds 11-18(26), until sock leg measures desired length, typically around 7-8 inches from cast on edge.)
Heel
The heel is worked using CC yarn and the short-row method over the first 33(36) stitches (takes place from peg 1 to peg 33(36).
The instructions for creating the short-row heel can be found at the end of pattern for both 64 and 72 peg versions.
If familiar with a short-row heel, simply follow the Heel and Toe Part I, decrease until there are 11(12) pegs unwrapped. Then follow Heel and Toe Part 2, increase back to a full 33(36) pegs.
Foot
Rnd 19(27): Skip peg 1 as it was just wrapped on the last short-row. Using MC yarn, k63(71). (KO 3 over 1 on peg 33(36).
Rnds 20-28(28-36): k. (KO 3 over 1 on peg 1 for first rnd.)
Rnds 29-36(37-44): Using both MC and CC, follow 8 rows of Colorwork Chart for the number of pegs being used.
Rnds 37-48(45-66): Using only MC, k. (Add additional rounds here if there will be additional length needed at the foot.)
Rnds 49-56(67-74): Using both MC and CC, follow 8 rows of Colorwork Chart for the number of pegs being used.
Rnds 57-66(75-84): Using only MC, k.
Toe
Repeat the same steps that you used to turn the heel, making sure to use the same pegs and side of the loom as before.
Remove the live stitches from pegs 1-32(36) and place them on one of the double pointed needles. Remove remaining 32(36) stitches (pegs 33-64(37-72) and place them on second double pointed needle.

Crescent Socks
Summer is here and with it means it is time to have some easy-to-carry projects like socks! Like waterfalls dripping down the rocks, the Crescent socks have a fluid stitch pattern that drips gently down to the toe of the sock. Worked in a self striping yarn that give them a summer feel.
LOOM: Sock Loom EFG (shown at 60 pegs).
YARN: Approx 350 yds of sock weight of superwash merino wool. Vesper Sock Yarn, self-striping in Pink Sorbet was used in sample.
NOTIONS: Knitting tool, tapestry needle, 2 double pointed needles in size 1 or 2 (used to Kitchener the toe).
GAUGE: 15 sts x 19 rows= 2” in stockinette.
SIZE: Shown in size 7.5 women. To create a larger size, simply work the foot section to 1.5 inches of desired length, then follow the toe instructions.
ABBREVIATIONS
Approx=approximately
k=knit stitch
p=purl stitch
CO=Cast on
BO=Bind off
st(s)=stitch(es)
rnd(s)=Round(s)
SSK=Slip, slip, knit
YO=Yarn over (ewrap the empty peg)
w&t=wrap and turn (remove loop from the peg and hold it, with working yarn, wrap the peg from the inside of the loom to the outside). You will then knit in the opposite direction.
Rnd(s)=round(s)
Tips:
- I recommend to move all the stitches to their new positions before working (knitting) the round.
- To make the socks match as closely as possible, work one sock normally and once you are to begin the second sock, locate the spot on the yarn that resembles the same coloway as where you started the first sock. Sample shows the sock starting in white, so the second sock was started at a section of white yarn.
INSTRUCTIONS 
Set knitting loom to 60 pegs.
Cuff
Rnd 1-Rnd 16: *k1, p1; rep from * to end of rnd.
Rnd 17: *p1, yo, k3, ssk, k4; rep from * to end.
Rnd 18 and all even-numbered Rnds: *p1, k9; rep from * to end.
Rnd 19: *p1, k1, yo, k3, ssk, k3; rep from * to end.
Rnd 21: *p1, k2, yo, k3, ssk, k2; rep from * to end.
Rnd 23: *p1, k3, yo, k3, ssk, k1; rep from * to end.
Rnd 25: *p1, k4, yo, k3, ssk; rep from * to end.
Rnds 27 and 28: *p1, k9; rep from * to end.
Continue to heel. (If you prefer a longer sock, repeat Rnds 17-28, until sock leg measures desired length, typically around 7-8 inches from cast on edge.)
Heel
The heel is a short-row heel over the first 30 stitches (takes place from peg 1 to peg 30).
New to short-row heels: directions for Short-row heel instructions can be found at the end of pattern.
If familiar with a short-row heel, simply follow the Heel and Toe Part I, decrease until there are 10 pegs unwrapped. Then follow Heel and Toe Part 2, increase back to a full 30 pegs.
Foot
**Next rnd: Skip peg 1 as it was just wrapped on the last short-row. k29, *p1, yo, k3, ssk, k4; rep from * end.
Next rnd: p1, k29, * p1, k9; rep from * to end.
Next rnd: p1, k29, *p1, k1, yo, k3, ssk, k3; rep from * to end.
Next rnd: p1, k29, * p1, k9; rep from * to end.

Next rnd: p1, k29, * p1, k9; rep from * to end.
Next rnd: p1, k29, *p1, k4, yo, k3, ssk; rep from * to end.
Next 3 rnds: p1, k29: *p1, k9; rep from * to end. **
Rep from ** to ** until foot measures approx. 1.5 less than desired length.
Toe
Repeat the same steps that you used to turn the heel, making sure to use the same pegs and side of the loom as before.
Remove the live stitches from pegs 1-30 and place them on one the double pointed needles. Remove remaining 30 stitches (pegs 31-60) and place them on second double pointed needle.
Close the toe with the Kitchener stitch(see tutorial included in this post for instructions). .
Weave ends in. Block lightly.

Elf House Slippers
Loom Knitting Advent, day 22, brings you a whimsical pair of Elf slippers.
Designed by Isela Phelps
Knitting loom: Sock Loom 2 (36 pegs)
Yarn: Approx 150 yards of worsted weight wool. Patons Classic Wool worsted in Bright Red and White was used in sample.
Notions: knitting tool, tapestry needle, row counter (optional).
Size: Shown fits a size 5-9 US women.
Abbreviations
cc=contrasting color (White)
cont=continue
K=knit stitch
k2tog=A right slanting decrease. Takes place over 2 pegs. Number the pegs 1 and 2, from right to left, as follows: Peg 2 -Peg 1. Remove stitch from peg 1 and hold it. Move stitch from peg 2 to peg 1. Place the loop you are holding back on peg 1. Work both loops together as one loop. *Note: usually, you move this loop over to peg 2 to leave peg 1 empty to create a yarn over.
mc=main color (Red)
P=purl stitch
rem=remain
Rep=repeat
rnd(s)=round(s)
st(s)=stitch(es)
ssk= A left slanting decrease. Takes place over 2 pegs. Number the pegs 1 and 2, from right to left, as follows: Peg 2 -Peg 1. Remove stitch from peg 2 and place it on peg 1. Work both loops together as one loop.
W&T=wrap and turn. The process of wrapping the peg and turning to work in the opposite direction on the loom. Lift the stitch/loop off the peg, wrap the peg so that the yarn goes around the peg and ends towards the front of the peg—if working in a clockwise direction around the loom, wrap the peg counterclockwise; if working in a clockwise direction around the loom, wrap the peg clockwise. See video demonstrating a W&T (Around 2:26)
YO=Yarn over. Created by ewraping the empty peg. Used to create the opening for lace items–it creates a small hole. Note: On the next row, untwist the ewrap and place this strand of yarn in front of the peg, then work the peg as instructed (either purl it or knit it).

Button-Up Romeos
These oh-so-cozy, yet ruggedly durable slippers are the perfect thing to get your tender feet through the chilly months ahead! Designed for both Men and Women, the thick knit and leather soles make these Romeos the go-to footwear this Fall/Winter season.
Knitting loom: KB Hat Loom (set to 24-28 pegs in the large gauge).
Yarn: 1 (1.5) skein Wool Ease Thick & Quick (108 yrds per skein) (samples in oatmeal and denim), super bulky #6 weight, worked along with 1 (1.75) skein of bulky #5 weight decorative yarn of your choice (samples use Red Heart Curly Q (150 yrds per skein) in mexicali and Loops & Threads Charisma (109 yrds per skein) in mountain majesty)
Notions: set of leather soles, 2 large decorative buttons, loom tool, 6mm crochet hook (for cast on and help with possible missed stitches, etc), stitch markers, scissors, yarn needle, row counter, measuring tape, sewing needle and thread or thinner weight yarn (for stitching on leather soles).
Gauge: 4.5 stitches and 6 rows per 2”
Finished Slipper Measurements:
Women’s Size 7.5-8.5:
Circumference: 10.5”
Length: Adjustable to size (heel/toe=2.5”) (Sample’s total length measures 10”)
Men’s Size 9.5-10.5:
Circumference: 12.5”
Length: Adjustable to size (heel/toe=3”) (Sample’s total length measures 11.75”)
Skills Needed: E-wrap, Purl, Double Wrap Short Row Method (shown in video links and step by steps below), Half Hitch CO (or CO of your choice), and Basic BO.
Abbreviations:
CO: cast on
EW: E-wrap
P: purl stitch
KO: knit off
St(s): stitches
WY: working yarn
BO: Bind off
Pattern Notes:
This pattern is created for ladies size 7.5-8.5, with men’s size 9.5-10.5 listed in parenthesis ( ). If you’d prefer a smaller or larger size, just add or decrease pegs/rows as needed.
As this is working with very bulky yarns, keep tension loose throughout.
Video Tutorials and Web Tools:
Pattern Instructions:
Set loom to 28 pegs in large gauge. CO to 24 (28) of the pegs to work as a panel, centering stitches on a long section of the loom.
**Note: CO in a clockwise direction for the left slipper and a counterclockwise direction for the right slipper. (Sample uses the Half Hitch CO, but any CO of preference will be fine.)
Rows 1-10 (12): Work in the following 2 row pattern:
A: S1, EW23 (27)
B: S1, P22 (26), EW1
Button Loop: Working on Peg 1 only, EW and KO 10 times.
Rows 11-20 (13-24): EW24 (28)
Heel
Place stitch markers on pegs 7, 11, 14, 18 (8, 13, 16, 21). These will be helpful while turning the heel/toe.
Row 21 (25): Turn heel (Step by step instructions on turning the heel/toe are listed at the bottom of the pattern.)
Row 22 (26): EW24 (28) (KO 3 over 1 on peg 6 (7) ).
Instep
Rows 23-36 (27-44): EW24 (28).
*Note: The number of rows in this section is easily adjusted to accommodate the intended shoe size. Simply work until the entire length of knitting measures the total length desired for slipper, minus 2.5” (3”).
Toe
Row 37 (45): Repeat the same steps used to turn the heel.
Row 38 (46): Repeat Row 22.
Wrap the #5 decorative yarn around the loom once. Cut this yarn strand here.
BBO all pegs. Wrap the #6 yarn strand around the loom twice. Cut this yarn strand here.
Finishing
The slipper will now be seamed up in a “T” shaped manner. It might help to pin slipper edges in place before proceeding to ensure an even seam. Use the #5 weight yarn tail to seam up the toe, and the #6 weight yarn to seam up the top of the slipper until 1” (1.5”) ( below the button loop. Knot securely at this point.
Stitch the button onto the side opposite the button loop so that it still shows when the cuff is folded down.
Weave in all ends and trim close to work.
Work all steps once more for the second slipper, making sure to CO in the opposite direction as the first slipper so the button loop will be worked on the correct side.
Using a needle and thread or lighter weight yarn, stitch the leather bottoms securely in place. (Sample uses a blanket stitch, but an overhand stitch will work as well.)

Double Soled Footies- a new technique
A great way to get lots of wear out of your favorite slippers
Where do your slippers wear out first? On the heel and bottom, I bet. Our new double knit slippers will have your cozy slippers lasting twice as long and looking great. It’s also a great way to add some fun colors to your knitting.
Loom: All-n-One Loom set up to work in double knit with 1cm setting.
Yarn: Any worsted weight yarn for main color and bulky yarn for the double foot.
1 skein of each. Sample used Wool of the Andes Wool in worsted and bulky.
Stitches: Stockinette and Figure 8
Notions Needed: Knit Hook, crochet hook, large sewing needle
Size: Small size 6-8 shoe or (Large) size 9-11 shoe
Slipper is worked from toe up to heel.
Instructions:
Cast On 22 (28) double stitches in Stockinette weave with main yarn. Make sure you have at least 3 empty pegs at each end of stitches. Lay anchor yarn of matching yarn, and leave in for shaping the toe.
Work (2) rows.
Row 3: Increase row.
Increase (1) stitch at 3rd peg at both ends of loom. To do this, move the stitches on peg 1 and 2 over to left empty pegs. Do this to each rail at both ends. You now have an empty peg at peg 3 on both rails. Work the increase from peg 4 to empty pegs.
Work row 4 in stockinette stitch. You now have 24 (30) stitches.
Work additional 4 (8) rows in stockinette stitch.
Adding the bulky yarn:
The bulky section will be worked on the center 12 (16) pegs. Go to center of knitting and count back 6 (8) pegs for starting point for bulky yarn. Place a slip knot on the peg at starting point peg with bulky yarn.
*Work the row:
Wrap the center 12 (16) pegs front to back with Figure 8 stitch with the chunky yarn. Return to beginning with another wrap of chunky yarn. Secure the chunky yarn to prevent it from coming off the pegs.
Now, wrap the main yarn in complete circular on all pegs in Stockinette stitch.
Work the row by hooking over the 2 loops of chunky yarn, one strand at a time. Then, hook over the main yarn to complete the row.
Repeat this entire * process with both yarns for a total of 22 rows.
Tie and knot the chunky yarn. Cut with 3” tail and tuck into knitting.
Continue working with main yarn in Stockinette stitch for additional 4 (8) rows on all pegs. This is the heel of the slipper.
Finishing:
Fold slipper so that the anchor yarn remains at one end. Use invisible stitch to sew the heel of the slipper with main yarn. Knot well and cut leaving 2” tail. Work the yarn tail into the knitting with crochet hook.
Sew the top of slipper to approximately half way leaving a comfortable opening for the foot to enter. Gather the anchor yarn carefully to form the toe and tie and knot. Trim yarn tails and pull into inside of slipper.
If desired, you can make a nice crochet ruffle edge with chunky yarn and crochet hook at top of slipper.
Repeat all instructions for 2nd slipper. Enjoy the great cushioning of the double footie. You may also add a few drops of liquid rubber for non-skid slippers.

I found it helpful to add three washers to each side of my 1cm spacers to give my bulky yarn room to fit between the two sides. I also had to remind myself not to wrap too tightly!

Zoey’s Toesies
Spring seems to be the time the urge hits to whip up tiny projects for those wee babes we know. This little pair of baby booties is just the thing to keep those sweet little tootsies snug and warm, and our knitting urges satisfied, lol. In my case, a new niece will be arriving soon, so these are named for her. The bit of picot edging and the contrast colored toes and heels add to the overall cuteness, while the elastic yarn works to keep them in place no matter how much baby Zoey loves to kick. 😉
Needed
Knitting loom: KB Sock Loom Extra Fine Gauge
Yarn: approx. 1/2 skeins Cascade Yarns Fixation: Sock Weight, 100 yards, 98.3% Cotton/ 1.7% Elastic (sample in colors MC: #9907 & CC: Lemon).
Notions: Loom tool, yarn needle, scissors. (Also helpful: peg markers, row counter, 4mm crochet hook (for cast on and help with possible missed stitches, etc))
Gauge: 8 stitches and 14 rows per inch on average.
Finished sock measures 3.75″ in length and 2.5″ in height.
Skills Needed: True Knit Stitch or U-stitch, Double Wrap Short Row Method (shown in video links below), Chain CO, and Basic BO, Knit 2 Together.
Pattern Notes:
All knit stitches are either worked as a true knit stitch, or as a U-stitch.
The sample sock was knit using an elastic yarn, which makes the sockies nice and smooshy. The thing you’ll need to be careful of is keeping just a little bit of tension on that yarn throughout the project. This give your socks that perfect amount of stretch…not too little and not too much. BUT! You’ll need to keep your tension consistent throughout the project, and on both socks! 😉

Turning of heels and toes: Double Wrapped Short Row Method (For those who need it, the Step by Step written instructions are at the bottom of this post)
Pattern Instructions:
Set your EFG Loom to use 40 pegs in the round.
Using your CC yarn, Chain CO to all 40 pegs.
Rounds 1-5: K
Round 6: k2tog every even peg:
(Move loop from peg 1 to peg 2, move loop from peg 3 to peg 4…etc, to the end of the row. To work round, carry WY behind each empty peg and knit all double loops as if they are one.)
Round 7: Carry WY in front of each empty peg, and K each even peg. All pegs will now be filled.
Rounds 8-12: K
Bring inside leg of all CO row loops back up onto the loom, as you would for the brim of a hat. KO all sts.
Cut CC yarn to approx. 4″.
Rounds 13-22: Join your MC yarn and K. Do not cut yarn.
Join CC yarn and using the Double Wrap Short Row Method, decrease on pegs 1-20, keeping pegs 8-13 unwrapped, and the 7 pegs on each side will be wrapped. (For those who need it, the Step by Step written instructions are at the bottom of this post)
Increase back to a full 20 pegs. Extend your W&T’s one extra peg on each end to help close any hole created by starting the short rows. Pegs 40 & 21 will still have wrapped loops- just knit these loops together as one during the next knitted row.
Cut CC yarn to approx. 4″.
Rounds 23-38: Pick up MC, K all pegs.
Cut MC yarn to approx. 4″.
Join CC and repeat the short row instructions to create the toe. This time you will not have to extend the W&T’s one extra peg on each side. Just end the short rows when you have increased back to all 20 pegs.
Trim yarn to ?”.
It is now time to seam the two toe edges together. The best and most seamless way to do this is to create a Kitchener Stitch. The instructions on how to work this is found here: http://blog.knittingboard.com/archives/1481
If you feel a little overwhelmed by this grafting method, you can either carefully whipstitch or mattress stitch the toe closed. Here’s a great tutorial for that: http://www.knittingboard.com/so-sewing-the-toe-video/
Weave in all ends, stretching the fabric as you go, so that the tails will stay hidden. Trim close to work.
Now make a second sock! 🙂 **Note: keep in mind that because this sock has used a yarn that has a little bit of elastic, you’ll want to make sure that you keep the same tension for the second sock as you did for the first one… or you might end up making the mistake I did and end up with two socks knit using exactly the same pattern, but were two completely different sizes. Ooopsie! 😛
**Step by Step Double Wrap Short Row Instructions:

Pretty Peds
We are bringing you a new feature to our blog! Every second Friday of the month, we will feature a design by one of our customers. Our second installment in this tradition features a pattern by Bethany Dailey. Reminiscent of ballet slippers, this exquisite design will have you reaching for your EFG Sock Loom! To contact Bethany, simply submit a comment at the bottom of this post.
Knitting loom: KB EFG Sock Loom (set to 60 pegs in the round for ladies size 6.5-8.5).
Yarn: 1 skein Patons Stretch Socks (sample in Plum), Super Fine #1 weight, 239 yards, 41% cotton /39% wool / 13% nylon / 7% elastic
Notions: loom tool, 3mm crochet hook (for cast on and help with possible missed stitches, etc), (2) size 3 double pointed knitting needles (for Kitchener Grafting), stitch markers, scissors, yarn needle, row counter, measuring tape
Gauge: 8.5 stitches and 13 rows per inch in stitch pattern.
Skills Needed: True Knit Stitch or U-stitch, E-wrap, Purl, Double Wrap Short Row Method (shown in video links below), 2 peg I-Cord, Kitchener Stitch (or other grafting method), Picot Edging, CO, and BO (as described in pattern notes)
Abbreviations:
CO: cast on
EW: E-wrap
K: knit stitch or U-stitch, as desired
P: purl stitch
KO: knit off
St(s): stitches
WY: working yarn
BO: Bind off
Pattern Notes:
This pattern is created for ladies size 6.5-8.5, as the nature of the stretchable sock yarn allows for forgivable sizing. If you’d prefer a smaller or larger size, just add or decrease pegs as needed.
All knit stitches are either worked as a true knit stitch, or as a U-stitch, not e-wrap.
Video Tutorials and Web Tools:
Picot Cast On (Bethany Dailey’s version)
Kitchener Grafting Stitch Tutorial (at the bottom of Twisting Vines Socks)
Picot Stitches Instructions:
Picot Edging: Where called for in pattern, at the beginning of each panel knit row, EW and KO turning peg 5 times to create chain. When turning to knit the next row, slip (skip) this peg.
Picot Cast On: (note: when called for in pattern, you will already have a base loop on the starting peg)
- * -EW and KO 5 times on 1st CO peg to create chain.
- -Remove loop from peg and place on crochet hook.
- -Place hook with loop just before the peg you chained on, and point towards the inside of the loom.
- -Wrap WY around the front of the peg, towards the next peg in line.
- -Snag WY to the back of the peg with crochet hook, and pull through chain loop to create a new loop.
- -Place new loop onto next empty peg.
- -Repeat from * until you’ve reached the next peg with a base loop. At the base loop peg, knit 2 loops off as one on the first EW KO, then complete 4 more, to equal 5 EW’s.
Picot Bind Off:
- * -EW and KO 5 times on 1st BO peg.
- -Move loop from 2nd BO peg to 1st BO peg, KO.
- -Move loop back to 2nd BO peg.
- -Repeat from * to last BO peg.
Pattern Instructions:
Set loom to 60 pegs in the round. CO to 30 of the pegs, centering stitches on a long section of the loom. (Note: if you have adjusted the number of pegs being used for an alternate fit, just CO half of the new number.)
Knit first row on all 30 pegs, then using Heel and Toe Part I, decrease until there are 10 pegs unwrapped. (Note: if you have adjusted the number of pegs being used for an alternate fit, just decrease to a third of the total short row pegs.)
Using Heel and Toe Part 2, increase back to a full 30 pegs. After wrapping peg 30, knit back to peg 1. Pegs 1 & 30 will still have wrapped loops-just knit these loops together as one during the next row.
Carefully stretch CO edge across loom and place onto the corresponding pegs on the other side of the loom, filling all 60 pegs. (If this stretch is just too much for your chosen yarn, you can instead CO the empty pegs with your working yarn. You’ll then need to graft these edges together later, during the finishing steps of this project.)
*(Note: you will now be knitting from the first peg after the heel section (your new peg 1) toward the newly CO pegs, then proceeding on to the heel pegs. Please adjust the numbers of the pegs to reflect this change.)
Place stitch markers on pegs 11 and 20.
Knit 12 rounds using all 60 pegs in the following pattern:
- -Pegs 1-10: K
- -Pegs 11-20: K, P, K, P…
- -Pegs 21-60: K
Row 13: K pegs 1-10, Picot BO pegs 11-20, K pegs 21-60 & 1-10.
*To connect the picot trim on the heel to the trim you will now begin creating on the sides, you’ll need to pull up the base of the 5 EW chain from peg 11 up onto peg 10. Treat these 2 loops as one in the next steps.
*Please now make peg 10 your new peg 1 and work the next rows from this point.
Instep Rows: Knit in the following 2-Row pattern until the entire length of knitting measures the total length desired for foot minus 3.5” (3” for toe and .5” for negative ease) (Note: Sample used 56 rows):
Row 1:
- -Picot Edging, slip peg and turn.
- -Pegs 2-4: Purl
- -Pegs 5-50: Knit
Row 2:
- -Picot Edging, slip peg and turn.
- -Pegs 49-47: Purl
- -Pegs 46-1: Knit
Once you’ve reached your planned measurement, Picot CO to 10 empty pegs so that all 60 are filled. Complete the round in Knit, so you are back to your original peg #1.
Re-number your pegs so that they are continuing in this direction for the following rounds.
Knit 6 rounds using all 60 pegs in the following pattern:
- -Pegs 1-10: K
- -Pegs 11-20: K, P, K, P…
- -Pegs 21-60: K
Complete the next 18 rounds in the Knit stitch.
Repeat the same steps that you used to turn the heel, making sure to use the same pegs and side of the loom as before.
Remove the live loops from the loom and graft edges to close the toe, using the Kitchener Stitch (see tutorial included in this post for instructions). If required, repeat the same technique for the heel section.
For tie strings, pull up 2 stitches from the edge of your sock, where you prefer for your tie to be attached, and create an 8” 2 Peg I-Cord for the instep, and a 5” 2 Peg I-Cord for the outside. (2 Peg I-Cord Tutorial)
Weave in all ends. Work all steps once more for your completed pair of Pretty Peds!
