BUNNY HOP ANKLETS Quick and cute, these anklets make the most of a single ball of sock yarn and add flair
to your daily wardrobe, by Knit Picks Design Team
GETTING STARTEDM1L (Make 1 Left-leaning
stitch): PU the bar between
st just worked and next st and
place on needle as a regular
stitch; knit through the back
loop.
M1R (Make 1 Right-leaning
stitch): PU the bar between
st just worked and next
st and place on needle
backwards (incorrect stitch
mount). Knit through the
front loop.
Central Double Decrease
(CDD)
Slip two stitches as if to K2tog
onto RH needle. K 1 st, PSSO.
Backwards Loop Cast On,
or Loop Cast On
Start with a slipknot on your
needle. Hold your needle
in your right hand and use
your fingers to keep the yarn
tail out of the way. Grasp
the working yarn in your left
hand. Pass the working yarn
around your left thumb from
back to front. Slip the needle
tip under the loop around
your thumb. Pull your thumb
out of the loop and tug on
the working yarn to tighten
up the stitch.
Working Two-at-a-time
There are advantages to
working your socks two-at-
a-time. You can finish both
socks at the same time (no
second-sock syndrome!),
and when working from
the toe up, you can finish
wherever you’d like. That’s
how these anklets work –
from the toe up, both anklets
are fitted to the foot, and
when they’re done, you may
have many yards or just a
tiny amount of yarn left. No
worries, though – both socks
are already at the same
point, so you don’t have to
fret about having enough
yarn to finish the second!
To prepare your yarn, find
both ends of the ball. You can
work from both of these ends
as they are, or carefully wind
the skein into two 25-gram
balls each.
WORKING PATTERNTOESCast on for toes using
spare DPNs, and transfer
to circular needles. Using
Backwards Loop Cast On,
cast on 8 sts (for a narrow
toe, 10 for average, and 12
for a wider toe). Knit across
these sts. Turning work so
that cast-on edge is on top
and working yarn is to the
right of the work, Pick up
and knit into each cast-on
st (including the slip knot).
You are now working in
the round. The first 8 (10,
12) sts are the instep, the
second 8 (10, 12) sts are
the sole.
Using second pair of DPNs,
cast on the second sock in the
same way using the second
end or ball of yarn.
Transfer the first sock to the
circular needles by knitting
the first round directly off of
the DPNs.
Round 1: K1, M1L, K to last st
of instep, M1R, K1. Repeat for
sole sts.
Transfer the second sock in
the same way. This works
both at once. Repeat the
directions around both socks.
Repeat this increase round
every round twice more,
every other round until 60
sts around. For patterning
purposes, consider the first
30 sts of the round to be the
instep, and the second 30 to
be the sole.
INSTEP Finishing the toes
for both socks.
After 60 sts on the round,
begin working from Dots
Chart across the instep of
each sock. Work in stocking
stitch across the sole.
Repeat all rounds of the
chart until 5.5cm from the
back of heel, ending after an
even numbered round.
Begin working the heel on the
30 sole sts.

SIZED TO FIT UP TO LADIES SIZE 11 SHOE
HEEL DIRECTIONSA standard short-row heel
has about as many rows as
the heel has stitches. This
heel has twice as many
rows. This will create a high
heel and a low ankle. As
you work across each
row, pick up wraps from
previous rows and work
them together with the
stitches they wrap. The
heel directions are in both
written and charted form.
When the heel is completed,
knit the cuffs around all
stitches.
HOW TO WRAP AND TURN (W&T):Work until the stitch to be
wrapped. If knitting: bring
yarn to the front of the
work, slip next st as if to
purl, return the yarn to the
back; turn work and slip
wrapped st onto RH needle.
Continue across row. If
purling: bring yarn to the
back of the work, slip next
st as if to purl, return the
yarn to the front; turn work
and slip wrapped st onto
RH needle. Continue across
row.
Picking up wraps:
Work to the wrapped st. If
knitting, insert the RH needle
under the wrap(s), through
the wrapped st K-wise. Knit
the wrap(s) together with the
wrapped st. If purling, slip the
wrapped st P-wise onto the
RH needle, and use the LH
needle to lift the wrap(s) and
place them on the RH needle.
Slip wrap(s) and unworked
st back to LH needle; purl all
together through the back
loop.

BEGINNER'S TOOL KIT
KNITTING IN ELASTIC
Elastic yarn prevents sagging in
cuffs, collars and waists. You can
work it in with knitting yarn on
knitted or crocheted garments.
KNITTER’S NEEDLES
Knitter’s needles need to have a large eye and
a blunt point so they do not split stitches when
sewing up your knitting.
ROW COUNTER
A row counter is helpful
for keeping track of rows
worked, particularly where
increases, decreases or
other kinds of patterning
occur.
PINS
Plastic-head
pins are useful
for checking
tension and
blocking out
items. Pins with coloured heads are best
because they do not get lost in your work.
CIRCULAR KNITTING NEEDLES
Circular needles have two working ends joined
by a thin nylon wire. They are more balanced
than straight needles and allow the weight of
your work to rest in your lap.
GLOSSARY
STITCH GAUGE
A stitch gauge is a flat piece of metal or plastic with
a ruler marked on one side and/or a window
cut out in the centre. It allows you to mark and
measure easily and accurately.
STITCH HOLDER
A stitch holder is used to secure stitches not in
use. You can also use safety pins for holding a
small number of stitches.
TAPE MEASURE
A basic tape measure is essential for checking your
garment measurements.
KNITTING BAG
A knitting bag is essential for those who like
to knit ‘on the go’. Not only is it a practical
way to keep all your knitting paraphenalia
together, it also helps keep the yarn clean
and tangle-free.
KNITTING NEEDLES
Knitting needles are made from plastic,
aluminium or wood and come in varying
lengths and widths. Straight needles
come in pairs and doublepointed
needles come in sets of four.
Creative Knitting 71
CASTING OFF
CASTING ON
PURLWISE
Purl two stitches. Use the point of the
left-hand needle to lift the first stitch
on the right-hand needle over the
second, and drop it off the needle.
Purl the next stitch on the left-hand
needle so that there are two stitches
on the right-hand needle again, and
repeat. Continue in this manner until all the stitches have been worked
off the left-hand needle and only one stitch remains on the right-hand
needle. Secure this last stitch as described in casting off knitwise.
KNITWISE
Knit two stitches. Use the point of the
left-hand needle to lift the first stitch on
the right-hand needle over the second,
and drop if off the needle. Knit the next
stitch on the left-hand needle so that there
are two stitches on the right-hand needle
again, and repeat. Continue in this manner
until all the stitches have been worked off the left-hand needle and only
one stitch remains on the right-hand needle. Cut the yarn, leaving a tail
and thread the yarn through the loop and pull it firmly to fasten off.
Casting on is creating a row of loops on a knitting
needle to form the base row for your knitting. One of
the most popular methods of casting on is the cable
cast on. Form a slipknot about 25cm away from the
end of the yarn.
Place the slipknot on a knitting needle and pull gently
to secure. Hold this needle in your left hand. Insert
the right-hand needle through the slip knot. Pass
the yarn over the point of the right-hand needle
(see Diagram 1).
Pull a loop through the slip knot with the right-hand
needle (see Diagram 2). Place this loop on the left-
hand needle and gently pull the yarn to secure the
stitch. For the remaining cast-on stitches, insert the
right-hand needle between the slip knot and the first
stitch on the left-hand needle. Wind the yarn around
the point of the right-hand needle. Draw a loop
through and place this loop on the left-hand needle.
Continue in this manner until you have cast on the
desired number of stitches.
Diagram 2Diagram 1
Diagram 1 Diagram 2 Diagram 1 Diagram 2
Diagram 1
Diagram 2
KNIT STITCH PURL STITCH
Once you have cast on, you then
knit into the stitches you have
made to form the knitted fabric.
Hold the needle with the cast on
stitches in your left hand, with
the loose yarn at the back of
your work. Insert the right-hand
needle from left to right through
the front of the first stitch on the
left-hand needle (see Diagram 1).
Wind the yarn from left to right
over the point of the right-hand
needle (see Diagram 2). Draw the
yarn through the stitch to form
a new stitch on the right-hand
needle. Slip the original stitch
off the left-hand needle, keeping
the new stitch on the right-hand
needle. To knit a row, repeat
these steps until all the stitches
have been transferred from the
left-hand needle to the right-
hand needle. Turn your work,
transferring the needle with the
stitches on into your left hand to
work the next row.
The purl stitch is basically the
reverse of the knit stitch. Hold
the needle with the stitches on
in your left hand, with the loose
yarn at the front of your work.
Insert the right-hand needle
from right to left into the front
of the first stitch on the left-
hand needle (see Diagram 1).
Wind the yarn from right to
left over the point of the right-
hand needle (see Diagram 2).
Draw the yarn through the
stitch to form a new stitch on
the right-hand needle. Slip the
original stitch off the left-hand
needle, keeping the new stitch
on the right-hand needle. To
purl a row, repeat these steps
until all the stitches have
been transferred from the
left-hand needle to the right-
hand needle. Turn your work,
transferring the needle with
the stitches on into your left
hand to work the next row.
GLOSSARY
72 Creative Knitting
If you substitute or spin a yarn for a
project, you can compare the weight
of the yarn to the project yarn by
comparing wraps per inch. Wrap your
yarn around a ruler for one inch and
count the number of wraps. If you
have more wraps per inch than the
project yarn, your yarn is too thin; if
you have fewer wraps per inch than
the project yarn, your yarn is too
thick.
This is the stitch most commonly used for joining knitted garments. With
the right sides of your work together, pin the knitted fabric together with
the edges even. The seam should be sewn one full stitch from the end
of the row. One stitch should be worked over every row. Thread the yarn
needle. Insert the needle through both layers and sew two stitches to the
left then one stitch back to the right. Keep stitches at an even distance.
Continue working from right to left in this circular motion. (Diagram 1)
After working a tassel, take one half
of the strands from each tassel and
knot them with half the strands
from the neighbouring tassel. Trim.
PROVISIONAL CAST ON (INVISIBLE CAST ON)
BACKSTITCHDiagram 1
Diagram 2Diagram 1
TASSELS
KNITTING TENSIONSUBSTITUTING YARNS
Cut yarn twice the length of your desired tassel plus a bit extra for the knot.
According to the desired thickness of the tassel, select a number of lengths
of yarn. Fold the lengths of yarn in half over a crochet hook. On the wrong
side, insert the crochet hook from the front to the back through the edge of
the work. Grab the yarn and pull through and tighten. Trim the ends to the
same length.
KNOTTED FRINGE
Place a loose slipknot on the needle
in your right hand. Hold the waste
yarn next to the slipknot and around
your left thumb. Hold your working
yarn over your left index finger.
*Bring the needle forward under the
waste yarn, over the working yarn,
grab a loop of working yarn (Diagram
1), then bring the needle to the front,
over both yarns, and grab a second
loop (Diagram 2). Repeat from *
until you have the desired number
of stitches on your needle. When
you’re ready to work in the opposite
direction, pick out the waste yarn to
expose the live stitches.
Checking your knitting tension, that
is, the tightness or looseness of your
knitting, is important. To check your
tension, cast on 30 stitches using
the recommended needle size.
Work in the pattern until your work
measures 10cm from the cast on
edge then cast off. You now have a
“swatch”. Measure your tension by
placing a ruler over your swatch and
counting the number of stitches
across and rows down (including
fractions of stitches and rows) in
10cm. Repeat these measurements
two to three times on a different
parts of the swatch to check your
measurements. If you have more
stitches and rows than called for
in the instructions, you should use
larger needles; if you have fewer, use
smaller needles. Check your tension
again before starting your project.
Creative Knitting 73
GLOSSARY
Pass the yarn over the hook. Insert
the hook through the top two loops
of a stitch (Diagram 1). Pass the
yarn over the hook and draw up a
loop so that you have three loops
on the hook (Diagram 2). Pass
the yarn over the hook and draw it
through the first two loops on the
hook, pass the yarn over the hook
and draw through the remaining
two loops. Continue in the same
way, inserting the hook into each
