The perfect yoga sock! It took me a bit longer than I thought to get this pattern posted, but here it is! If you have any questions, please feel free to post them on here and I will answer them for you. I hope you enjoy them! Also available on Ravelry.

Namaste Socks


Yarn: ~150 yards Aran/Worsted Weight (I used Jo Sharp Aran Weight)

Needles: Four size US4 DPNs, Cable Needle (cn) or extra DPN

 

Round A (Normal Row)

Needle #1: Knit all sts

Needle #1: Knit all Sts

Needle #2: P3, K3, P2, slip 3 Sts to cn, hold in front, K3, K3 from cn, P2, K3, P3

Needle #3: Knit all sts

 

Instructions:

Cast on 44 sts loosely (I used cable cast on, but feel free to use what you like)

Divide sts onto 3 needles as follows: slip 11 sts to needle #1, slip 22 sts to needle #2 (this is the top of the sock), 11 sts will remain on what is now needle #3

Join round being careful not to twist sts

Rows 1-5: [K1, P1]* repeat * to end

Rows 6-11: Round A

Row 12: Round B

Rows 13-18: Round A

Row 19: Round B

Row 20-25: Round A

Row 26:

Needle #1: Knit all sts

Needle #2: P3, K3, P2, 3/3 cable (hold in front), P2, K3, P3

Needle #3: Bind off all sts loosely (you can add a few extra sts in the heel then bind off if you need more room)

Row 27:

Needle #1: Bind off all sts loosely (same as above, add sts if more room is needed)

Needle #2: P3, K3, P2, K6, P2, K3, P3

*You will now only have sts on Needle #2 – turn work (ws)

Row 31: (RS) Sl1, P2, K3, P2, K6, P2, K3, P3

With WS facing you, cast on 22 sts, (I used cable cast on here for a more finished look), divide sts evenly onto Needle #3 and Needle #1 (11 sts on each needle). Join Needle #1 and #2 in the round again being careful not to twist sts.

    I love the look and the worsted weight. What is the gauge for this pattern?

  9. PomegranateGrl August 13, 2011 at 10:39 pm #

    Thanks Jodie- I am not 100% on the gauge, but I think it’s about 18 sts for 4 inches. That is for a size 6 foot. I hope you enjoy the pattern- there are lots of projects on Ravelry now, and many people made some great recommendations.
