These socks can be knitted with either five double pointed needles, two circulars, or magic loop on one
circular. It is best suited to solid or semi-solid yarns. Mine are knitted with Rio de la Plata 100%
superwash wool. Directions are given for size small with changes for medium and large in parenthesis.
On the charts the additional stitches for the medium and large sizes are colored yellow and lavender.
Add one color to knit a size medium, add both colors to knit a size large.
Most of the sections (cuff, gusset, instep/foot, toe) have instructions for double pointed needles
followed by those for Magic Loop or two circulars. The heel doesn't have seperate instructions as the
flap and heel turn are knitted flat. Each of the charts follow their written instructions. The foot and
toe don't have charts. If you feel adventurous there is a chart for a carrot to be knit on the top of the
foot and toe. It is purled on a knit background, the opposite of the carrots on the cuff.

Heel - The heel flap is worked flat (knitting back and forth.) If you wish, place the stitches for the
back of the sock (carrot/bunny/carrot) on a separate needle(s).
Heel Flap
Note: When you turn the flap to slip the first stitch the yarn will be on the side of work facing
you. Slip the stitch, then bring the yarn to the back for the next, knit, stitch. This will make a
very neat “chain” of stitches up the edge and make it quite easy to pick up the gusset stitches.
• Slip 1st stitch purlwise, k2, place marker, purl to three stitches before the end of the heel,
place marker, k3, turn
• Row 1 – Slip 1st stitch purlwise, k2, *sl 1 with yarn in back, k1*, repeat between *s to
marker, k3, turn
• Rows 2 & 4 – Slip 1st stitch purlwise, k2, purl to marker, k3, turn
• Row 3 – Slip 1st stitch purlwise, k2, *k1, sl 1 wyib*, repeat between *s to marker, k3, turn

• With a new needle, pick up one stitch between the front and the heel flap, and 16 sts along
the hell flap. Knit 8 (8/10) stitches from the heel turn. This is now needle 3.
• Knit the remainder of the heel stitches and the gusset stitches previously picked up. This is
now needle 4.
