Photo of the socks follows the pattern.

I am passing this pattern to you as a favour. I do not expect anything in return except for you to remember me when someday, someone else may need something from you, and you can pass on the favour to them.-- Arlene Williams

SUPPLIES:

• Knitting Worsted weight yarn - small amount of red and white
• 3.5 mm dpn needles

You can make your sock red with white rib, heel, and toe, or white with red rib, heel, and toe. You decide which colour is the Main Colour and which is the Contrasting Colour. Photo shows one of each.

Finished size is 3.25 - 3.5 inches top to toe and about 2.5 inches toe to heel

With contrasting colour, cast on 14 sts. Join in round, being careful not to twist the stitches. Work 3 rows in K1, P1 rib.

Change to main colour and knit round for 9 rows.

HEEL

Change to contrasting colour, knit 6 sts. Leave the remaining 8 sts on two needles, work in stocking stitch for a total of 6 rows on the 6 sts.

SHAPE HEEL

K1, slip next st, k1, pass slipped stitch over k1, k2tog, k1. (4 sts).

Change to main colour.

Needle 1: Leaving the 4 sts from the heel on the needle, pick up and knit 5 sts along the side of the heel. (9 sts)
Needle 2: K8 sts from the other two needles.
Needle 3: Pick up and knit 5 sts along the other side of the heel, then knit the first 2 sts from needle 1.

TOE

Change to contrasting colour, knit 3 rounds.

I did not weave in the ends, just knotted the yarns when changing colours and tucking all ends into the sock.
