CURVALICIOUS
















This sock was written for all my friends with soft, rounded and gentle curves.
And they are HOT! Even though I have skinny ankles and feet, I am also
curvalicious. This sock was written in one size only as the pattern is 30 stitches.
If you want a larger or smaller sock, use a larger or smaller needle.
Necessities:
100 gm of a fingering weight yarn. I used Knit Picks Essential Kettle Dyed in the
colorway Wine.
Size 2 circular needles
Tapestry needle
This pattern uses the Magic Loop method. You can easily convert this to your
preferred method.
LEG:
Cast on 60 stitches using the long-tail cast-on or any method that you prefer.
Divide evenly and place 30 stitches on each needle. Join without twisting.
Ribbing: K2, P2 for 12 rounds
Begin chart working rows 1-18 on each needle for 3 repeats. If you need more or
less length, end after rows 8,9,17 or 18.
Knit across Needle 1 in pattern.
HEEL:
Work heel back and forth on needle 2 and leave rest of stitches on needle 1.
Row 1: sl1, k5 [ sl1, k1] X9, k6
Row 2: sl1, p29
Row 3: sl1, k5 [k1, sl1] x9, k6
Row 4: sl1, p 29
Repeat row 1-4 6 mores times and then work rows 1 & 2 once more.

2: sl1 p7, p2tog, p1, turn
3: sl1 p8, ssk, k1, turn
4, sl1, k9, ssk, k1, turn
Continue in this manner until there are 18 stitches left.
Knit across instep. Pickup and knit 15-17 stitches along the
right edge of the heel, knit across the heel, pickup and knit 15-17 stitches
across the left edge of the heel. Arrange stitches in this manner:
N1: Instep
N2: Heel and gussets
Gusset decreases :
Knit instep on N1 in pattern
Decrease on N2
Round 1: K1, SSK, knit to last 3 stitches, K2tog, K1
Round 2: Knit
Repeat until 30 stitches remain on N2
Continue in pattern on N1 and st st on N2 until 1½ – 2 inches from toe.
Begin toe shaping:
1. k1, ssk, knit to last 3 stitches on needle and k2tog, k1. Repeat
2. knit one round
3. Repeat these 2 rounds until you have 12 stitches left.
4. Graft toe closed using the Kitchener stitch.
