The fall months are soon approaching, it is time to begin knitting all those beautiful fall projects. One of my favorite fall project category is socks. I love to see a drawer full of cheerful handknit socks. Today, we bring you the Schooner Socks. These are worked with sock weight yarn and our new extra fine gauge knitting loom.

Abbreviations
K=knit stitch
P=purl stitch
Sl1=slip the stitch/peg; in this stitch pattern, place yarn behind the peg.
Rnd(s)=round(s)
Stitch Patterns
Round 1: *k3, sl1; rep from * to the end of round.
Round 2: k to the end of round.
Rep Row 1 & Row 2 for stitch pattern.
How to sl1—Take yarn behind the peg that you are “slipping”. Example: Knit pegs 1, 2, 3, take yarn behind peg 4; this completes one repeat, start again at peg 5 by knitting peg 5, 6, 7, then slipping peg 8, repeating the sequence all around the round.

Rep from ** to ** until sole measures 2 inches less (approx 24 rounds less) than desired length.
Toe Shaping
Repeat heel instructions exactly.
Closing the Toe
Place half of the stitches on a double pointed needle (1-32) and the
other half on the second double pointed needle (33-64). Cut the working yarn leaving a 24 inch long tail to use to close the toe area. Use the kitchener stitch to close the toe.
Finishing: Weave all yarn tail ends. Block lightly.
