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

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.

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

Page 73: Creative Knitting - Issue 50 2015

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.

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.

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

stitch (Diagram 3).

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 there

are three loops on the hook

(Diagram 2). Draw through

all three loops on the hook

(Diagram 3).

Make a slip knot on your hook.

Pass the yarn over the hook and

catch it with the hook and draw

it through the loop on the hook.

Repeat, drawing yarn through

the last loop formed.

With double-pointed needles, cast on

the desired number of stitches. *Without

turning the needle, slide the stitches to

the other end of the needle, pull the yarn

around the back and knit the stitches

as usual. Repeat from * until your work

measures the desired length

A dropped stitch can be picked up using a crochet hook and don’t be put

off by stitches that have unraveled several rows down into the work. To

pick up knit stitches, insert the crochet hook into the dropped stitch, draw

through the bar lying above the dropped stitch and pull it through the loop

of the dropped stitch.
