Sock knitting can certainly be a leap o aith—at times what you’re doing seems to make absolutely no sense at all. When I owned my yarn store, I would oten advise customers to channel their inner Luke Skywalker and “eel the orce” (trust the pattern). Don’t read ahead, don’t jump to conclusions—just take the pattern one step at a time, and it will all work out in the end. To prove that point, let’s challenge ourselves with Christmas at Sea’s new “Seaarer Stripey Crew Sock” pattern. This new sock pattern uses worsted weight yarn, which will make the learning process easier and the knitting go aster. 1 Step One/The Cu: Cast on 48 stitches onto a single double- pointed needle. Use the cast-on method you are most comortable with, but make sure you’re casting on loosely. Once all 48 stitches are on the needle, rom the starting end, slip 16 stitches purlwise onto another dpn and 16 more stitches onto a second dpn. You will have 16 stitches on 3 dpns. With the dpns, orm a triangle, with the yarn coming rom the top o the needle making up the right leg o the triangle. With your let hand, pick up the let needle and with the empty dpn in your right hand, knit the stitches rom the let needle to the right needle (the other two needles may dangle—this is normal). Once that needle is empty, move on to the next dpn, using the just-emptied needle as your right needle. Repeat or the third needle. Knit in a K2,P2 pattern or approximately1.5–2". 2 Step Two/The Leg: Now you’ve got the groove, I bet. When the cu reaches 1.5–2", continue knitting in the round in stockinette stitch (knit each round) or approximately 6–7". This is your opportunity to use stripes, or a color block pattern. To incorporate stripes:Knit one round in the main color. On round 2, add a contrasting color. Knit or two rounds, but do not cut the main color, instead let it hang, and you will pick it up when needed. Knit two rounds o main color. Continue in this manner (two rounds CC, two rounds MC) or the desired length. End with 2 rounds o the main color. 3 Step Three/Heel: The heel is knit in two sections: the heel ap and the turning o the heel. Heel Flap: Knit 24 stitches and re-adjust the remaining stitches so that there are 12 each on the 2nd and 3rd needles. You will be working on the 24 stitches only. Row 1: Slip 1 stitch purlwise, knit 1 stitch.* Repeat until end. Row 2: Slip 1 stitch purlwise, purl remaining stitches. Repeat rows 1 & 2 14 times. Turning the heel: We will use a short-row technique to create the pocket in the sock where your heel sits. Here it is time to channel your inner Luke Skywalker. Just do as written and it will work out. Sl 1 purlwise, knit 12, k2tog, k1, turn. There are unknit stitches on your right needle. DON’T WORRY! (From this point forward, all slipped stitches are purlwise.) Sl1 purlwise, P4, p2tog, p1, turn. Again, there are unknit stitches on your let needle. No worries! Sl 1, k5, k2tog, k1, turn Sl 1, p6, p2tog, p1, turn Sl 1, k7, k2tog, k1, turn Sl 1, p8, p2tog, p1, turn Sl 1, k9, k2tog, k1, turn Sl 1, p10, p2tog, p1, turn Sl 1, k11, k2tog, k1, turn Sl 1, p12, p2tog turn You will have 14 stitches on t he needle. Turn and knit 7. This is the new beginning o the round. 4 Step Four/Gusset: This is where you join your sock heel to the other two needles to create the shape rom the heel to the arch o the oot. Still using your main color, knit 7 stitches rom the heel, and then pick up and knit 14 stitches rom the side o the heel. Remember all those slipped stitches? Now you know why they were s lipped—much easier to pick them up and knit them. Knit 24 stitches across the top o the oot onto one needle. O Stp at a Tim I n the Bible, Noah, his amily and a whole zoo o animals waited orty days on a wooden ark. Moses wrote the words o the Ten Commandments while spending orty days on a mountain—without eating or drinking. And Jesus asted or orty days and nights in the Judean desert. Surviving on very little (or nothing) and sacrifcing the ways o ordinary lie, orty days must have elt like an eternity. For those who endeavor to give up or take on something or Lent, the orty days o the season make the task even more daunting. Yet the church presents this pattern—modeling its traditions on impressive scriptural stories—and asks aithul people to tackle an extended period o sustained willpower and strength. This may be fne i your name is Noah, Moses or Jesus, but or ordinary people, it might seem dierent. For centuries, however, people have lived to tell about the other side o Lent. Do they have a secret? Making it through a orty-day discipline requires pacing and perspective. Bunching up one tremendous bit o a project at the beginning o an extended period can trigger burnout. A steady stride ensures stamina and precision. Breaking the large task into parts, “Lenten survivors” ocus on one step at a time. In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus gives this advice, “Give your entire attention to what God is doing right now, and don’t get worked up about what may or may not happen tomorrow.” (Matthew 6:34, The Message) The Power of One One step, one person, one stitch at a time.… It adds up to tremendous change. This theory has ueled the Seamen’s Church Institute’s (SCI) Christmas at Sea knitting program or years. This past year’s collection yielded over 20,000 items—quite a vast number! To put that into perspective, 20,000 seaarers’ scarves laid end-to-end would stretch about 14.5 miles. A lot o stitches combine to make warm holidays or mariners working at Christmastime. This Lent, be earless! Adopt a project that has intimidated you in the past. Don’t be concerned with its length or complexity. Seize Lent one day at a time and seek in each o those days the chance to fnd goodness in its opportunities. Perhaps you will fnd that little by little, piece by piece, ordinary people can tackle the most challenging circumstances, including knitting tricky socks.

Conquering the Sock, Inch by Inch
For each major step in the pattern, Paige has recorded a YouTube video.
Ever the an o handknit woolen socks,but understanding the “ear actor” when
contemplating knitting a pair, I wasn’tsurprised to learn rom our Knitters’
Survey last spring that socks were the“least avorite” project o all. Socks look
incredibly tricky to make. And then thereis the whole issue o the double pointed
needles and “skinny minny” yarn.
Sock knitting can
certainly be a leap o aith—at times what
you’re doing seems tomake absolutely no sense at all. When I
owned my yarn store, I would oten advise

Knit 24 stitches across the top o the oot

Pick up and knit 14 stitches onto third
needle, knit 7 rom the heel.
You will have 21 stitches on needle 1, 24
on needle 2, and 21 on needle 3.
I you’re continuing with the stripe
pattern, add your contrasting color.
Round 1:Needle 1: knit until 3 stitches
remain on needle, k2tog, k1, Needle 2:knit, Needle 3: k1, ssk, knit to end.
Round 2:Knit all stitches.
Repeat rounds 1 & 2 (alternating colors i you’re doing the stripes) until 12 stitches
remain on needles 1 & 3, and 24 onneedle 2.
5Step Five/Foot: Now you’re backto 48 stitches. Knit (continuing
with the stripe pattern) untilsock reaches about 8”.

on needle 3.
Then repeat round 1 only until there are 3
stitches on needle 1, 6 on needle 2 and 3on needle 3.
Knit the stitches on needle 1 onto needle3 (you now have 6 stitches on needle 2
and 6 on needle 3).
Cut yarn, leaving about a 12” tail.
Kitchner stitch the toe closed.
