{"product_id":"uni-rolled-top-ankle-socks-knitting-kit","title":"Uni — Rolled-Top Ankle Socks Knitting Kit","description":"\u003cp\u003eUni, from Ístex’s Lopi 24: plain ankle socks in thick Álafosslopi, knitted tightly on 5 mm needles, with a top edge in amber heather that rolls down by itself. The heel is knitted in last (an afterthought heel), and heel and toe have the same square finish. The pattern’s sapphire blue heather (9968) is no longer made; this kit has 1233 space blue in its place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIcelandic Álafosslopi wool yarn — enough for one pair in either size\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKnitting pattern in English (PDF) — emailed right after purchase\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eADDI knitting needles — only if you choose the kit with needles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eÁlafosslopi — 100 g balls\u003c\/strong\u003e · sizes Ladies\/children (Men)\u003cbr\u003e\nA 1233 Space Blue (in place of 9968 sapphire blue heather) — 2 (2)\u003cbr\u003e\nB 9971 Amber Heather — 1 (1)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSizes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTwo sizes, as the pattern names them: “Ladies\/children” and “Men”. The pattern gives no shoe sizes or foot lengths — the leg is 14 (16) cm, and you knit the foot until it reaches a little past the little toe, trying it on as you go. There are 34 (36) stitches around the foot, about 23 (24) cm at the pattern’s gauge (our calculation).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGauge\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e15 sts × 22 rows = 10 cm (4″) in stocking stitch on 5 mm needles.

Eight rounds of stocking stitch in amber heather make the top edge, which rolls outwards by itself. The leg and foot are plain stocking stitch in the blue. At the heel, 15 (16) stitches are knitted with waste yarn and then again in blue, and the foot carries on to the toe. The toe is decreased to 18 (20) stitches and finished square: a 4-stitch band is knitted sideways across the top and sole stitches and grafted to a cast-off edge. Last, the waste yarn is pulled out, the heel stitches are picked up and decreased to 18 (20), and the heel is finished with the same sideways band as the toe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePattern from Lopi No. 24 (no. 22), Ístex.
