Cunningham Socks

Cunningham Ankle Socks

by Vicki Peterson ~ http://purpleisafruit.blogspot.com/
Materials
sock yarn
2.75mm 40" circ
tape measure
yarn needle
These socks were made with the magic loop method.

I knit a littler tighter than others, you might have to do down a 1/2 size.

Cuff

Cast on 64 sts
K1 tbl, P1 around for 5 rows, if you'd like your sock a bit taller ( to cover your ankle knit for 20 - 25 rows)

Heel flap

on the same needle that you just finished knitting on slip 1, purl across and slip the last st

row 1 - p1, *k1, sl1* across to last st, purl last st
row 2 - sl1, purl across to last st, sl1
repeat 17 times or for 2.5 inches.
Turn heel
1 - WS - sl1, p20, p2tog, turn
2 - RS - sl1, k10, sl1, k1, psso, turn
3 - WS, sl1, p10, p2tog, turn

repeat rows 2 and 3 until you have 12 sts remaining.

Gusset

pick up and knit 18 sts (slipped sts plus one extra) I pick up one extra st up by the ribbing to prevent a hole.
knit across the ribbing sts, then pick up another 18 sts, knit 6 sts from heel turn onto the other needle.
This will even out all your sts and give you a loop'd'loop'd'loop, you should have 24 sts, 32 sts and another 24 sts on the circ.
knit to last 3 sts, k2tog, k1, knit across ( where your ribbing is), k1, ssk, k to end
knit next round even
repeat these 2 rounds until you have 16 sts on each gusset side
knit the first 16 sts onto the same needle ( you will now continue with the regular magic loop, 2 loops instead of 3)

Arch Support

k1 tbl, p1 around for 2 inches
Foot
knit plain until the foot measures 2 inches shorter than the total foot length. Measure this from the picked up sts of the heel flap.

Toe Decreases

k1, ssk, k to last 3 sts, k2tog, k1 ( repeat on other needle)
knit next row even.
Repeat until you have 10 sts on each needle.
Kitchener sts together.
Avoid the second sock syndrome by casting on for sock 2 right now!!

Tackle Those Floors Swiffer Cover

4.5 mm needles

4.5 mm crochet hook

dishcloth yarn

yarn needle

cast on 18 sts

*k2, p2* k2

*p2, k2*p2

rpt these 2 rown for 2.5 inches

on the last row increase 1 st

k1, p1 for 9 inches

on the last row decrease 1 st

repeat the ribbing and cast off loosley.

fold the ribbing over the seed st and sew up the sides.

with crochet hook chain 22, slst onto the side of the cover, you will have 2 on each side so place then evenly, and slst back to the end of the chain, fasten off.

repeat this 3 more times.

The only thing left to do is tackle those floors!

Handspun Wrist Wallet

Handspun Wrist Wallet

this is a super quick project to knit and good for teaching beginners some knitting techniques.

adding the zipper might take you the longest out of the whole project!!

Materials:

worsted weight yarn handspun/dyed looks best but you can use store bought too

and a 4.00mm 32"circ and the same size dpn's

I used a old zipper from some jeans

needle and thread

ok lets start:
cast on 5 sts

knit each row for 8 inches....if you want your wallet just a tad bigger go for 9 inches

join and knit both ends tog to make a tube casting off as you go, so you will have 1 st left

this is where the circ comes in for the magic loop

on the same side as your last st, pick up and knit one st at each garter st bump.

the number of sts arn't critical after all it's just a wallet

*knit 2 sts, knit in the front and back of next st* around

you might not have enough sts to knit this evenly around the wallet... thats ok, just go with it!

then knit even for 1 inch, for me that was 6 rows

purl 1 row

knit 3 rows

purl 1 row

knit 1 row

*knit 2 sts, knit2tog* around (fudge it if you have to) ;)

*knit 1 st, knit2tog* around

knit2tog around

you should have 6, 7, 8?? sts left on each needle

kitchener these tog.

tuck in ends

with the dpns cast on 3 sts and make a I-cord.

make this long enough that when the ends are together you can put your hand through the loop.

sew this onto the end of the wallet where you cast off.

now sew your zipper , you might have to cut the zipper a bit shorter, I made the opening about 4.5 inches.

I can fit my credit cards, change, cell phone and my van keys inside....

(yep in that little thing!!)

I use mine all the time and it's so great when you don't want to carry a purse around!!

Ginormous Man Mitts

I'm sharing this pattern and hoping you have the knowledge that you know how to knit with the magic loop method or DPN's, as it doesn't explain everything.

The mitt will fit a big mans hand.
