Notes

Participating in my 5th TTL mystery sock kal! here

Sock kit from La Bien Aimée 100g+50g in my favourite colours Namu and Yellow Brick Road.

I am knitting 2AAT on one Magic loop. My first sock is Left sock, then Right sock.

I don’t like my sock legs too long, so clue 2 is one repeat only.

Tip for clue 4:
Picking up stitches can be tricky with Magic loop. Here’s how I did (see Picture with numbers).

Knit across the heel stitches, pick up stitches on the side of heel (needle 2 in pattern) on Left sock, repeat on Right sock. Turn your work.

Knit across on top of foot the cabled pattern (needle 3+4 in pattern) on Right sock then repeat on Left sock. Turn your work.

Pick up the stitches on the last side of Left heel (needle 1 in pattern). Then continue to knit the heel and knit across the needle. Repeat on Right heel.

Now all the heel stitches are on the same side and front stitches on the other. It is a bit fiddly and tight because a high number of heel stitches, but as you decrease 2 stitches each other round, it will soon be better!
