Ripple~Wave Socks
Cast on 60 stitches using size 2
8 rows of garter stitch for the cuff.
.
Leg pattern is knit over 6 rows. So every 6th row you do the pattern stitch, all other rows are knit in stockinette stitch. (rows: 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42….etc etc).
Pattern row with 15 stitch repeat:
K1, ssk, ssk, k1, m1, k1, m1, k1, m1, k1, m1, k1, k2tog, k2tog, k1.
There are a couple of ways to go here with the m1 stitch. For these socks, the recipient didn’t want any lacy holes in them, so to **m1** I picked up the bar between stitches and knit into the back of that stitch.
If you wanted a little bit of lacy hole, then you could do the same for the m1, meaning pick up the bar between stitches and knit that stitch regularly.

Proceed into whatever heel you like. My current favourite is the double-stitch short row heel from tessknits.com, but any would do. And then continue down the foot using the pattern for the top 30 stitches and straight stockinette for the bottom 30 stitches of the foot.

Btw, why is editing in blogger so darn difficult? arrrgghhhh!
edit...I should mention that the yarn is Neptune from the Yarn Pirate, from her Booty Club, but I can't remember which month it was. It's BFL, superwash, and it's fabulous.
