Using this method http://heidibearscreative.blogspot.com/2011/10/two-socks-at-time-on-one-circular.html we will be working two at a time toe up knee socks.
Here is a good video for Judy's magic cast on. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gkyd3nq3Yn8 Toe:
Co using Judy's magic co method 16 sts for each sock (8 each needle each sock)
Round 1:
Sock 1: kfb, k5, kfb, k1
Sock 2: repeat
turn
Sock 2 (other side): repeat
Sock 1 (other side): repeat
(10 sts each side each sock, 20 sts per sock total)
Repeat 4 (8, 12) times until you have 14 ( 22, 30) sts each side each sock and 28 (44, 60) sts total each sock.
Next row knit all stitches both socks.
You will now alternate increase rounds as written above and knit rounds 7 (5, 3) more times you should have 60 (68, 76) total for each sock and 30 (34, 38) sts each sock each side. Or until you have an even number of stitches on your needle and your socks fit your feet around. (Example I have very small feet so I stop at 22 sts each side each sock, or 44 sts total each sock. This is perfect for one size down to fit my size 5 feet. I have provided some limited notes on making extra smalls.)
Foot:
Knit every round until socks measure 6 (6 3/4, 7 ½) inches long or 2 1/2 (2 3/4, 3) inches shorter desired length from toe to back of heel.
Here's
a guideline for final sock lengths:
US
size 6 shoe (European 37) = 9 inches
US
size 7 shoe (38) = 9 1/4 inches
US
size 8 shoe (39) = 9 5/8 inches
US
size 9 shoe (40) = 10 inches
Arrange
stitches thusly 30
(34, 38) sts for top of feet and {15-15 (17-17, 19-19)}
for bottom, place a marker at the middle of the foot bottom.
Heel Gusset:
For
this section the first pass will be foot top and return pass will be
foot bottom.
