Introducing the Fold Over Cuff Down Scallop Ribbed Socks which utilize the E-Wrap Scallop/Vandyke Selvage outlined in the vintage Autoknitter manual.

Please note to work this pattern you must use a timed (aligned) Ribber and marked cylinder.

This Cuff Down pattern can have its Cuff folded over, made into any height socks or be left unfolded.

This audio video was recorded initially during a live demo while I was recovering from the flu (diagnosed at the hospital) and was edited for clarity. Chapters and close captioning are being setup to make watching this video easier.

How many rows YOUR sock will need to fit YOUR foot will depend on the fiber, machine settings and size wanted - with that info to note this pattern with the fiber I’ve used and my settings fits a US 8 Womens size.

SOCK PLAN:
PLAN: Ravel Cord | E-Wrap Ribber Scallop/Vandyke Selvage | 40 row Cuff/Leg | 10 row PRE-HEEL | +4 DEEP HEEL - No Wrap Method | 60 row Foot | Toe - No Wrap Method |

GENERAL INFO:
-You need to know how to use your timed Ribber and which cylinder slot after 3 o’clock best aligns with your Ribber.
-We will be using Ravel Cord.
-For best success, take each step one at a time however work each step clearly knowing where to be for the next part.
-I feel ankle socks fit better (depending on anatomy) when we make a “DEEP HEEL” which means starting the Heel wider than usual at the start. This creates a Heel that tends to cup the foot better. We will end one complete row before where we started which creates an INTERLOCK STITCH which reduces the ankle intersection holes.
-I always start my socks at the 3 o’clock as a rule and whenever adding my Ribber the yarn carrier is always at 7 o’clock with the first Ribber needle always added at that first empty cylinder slot after 3 o’clock. My Ribber aligns with the first cylinder slot after the 3 o’clock position.

THE BEST THING TO CONSIDER WHEN WORKING ANY SOCK RECIPE IS THAT YOU CAN EASILY PLUG YOUR OWN PREFERRED CUFF, HEEL OR TOE METHODS - IF THAT’S YOUR PREFERENCE

-The Heel and the Toe are both worked on the side of the machine closest to me (between the 9-6-3 o’clock positions).
