Medieval Muslim Stockings
The page you are on links to the original version of the sock which is more of a description of my process rather than a detailed pattern.
I was brand new to knitting and people kept saying how hard it was to knit with cotton, so i made the socks in the photos of white wool-cotton blend and space-dyed blue wool-nylon blend.
Not long after i knit another pair of cotton, Baby Georgia by Crystal Palace, which has since been discontinued. I suppose another fingering weight cotton yarn would work.
If you are doing an Historic KAL or are looking for the Sock Summit related pattern, you want the PDF at https://web.archive.org/web/20150812205801/http://home.ea...
This is the spiffy, brand-new, modern, detailed version of the pattern. It was originally posted in a descriptive version, which is elsewhere on this site. Thanks to claning for beating it into shape.
Additional Gauge Info:
Leg: 7 stitches per inch, 7 rows per inch
Foot: 8 stitches per inch, 8 rows per inch
Heel: 8 stitches per inch, 10 rows per inch
You need close to equal amounts - between 275 and 325 yards - of EACH of two colors. The original colors were off-white and dark indigo. The yardage is estimated - you will need more if you have long feet or longer or wider legs.
UPDATE
In July 2020 my ISP removed all the websites it had been hosting. I have updated the link to my new website, as well as a link to the pattern PDF as saved by web.archive, aka The Wayback Machine.
