If you remember Rosie’s Firestarters<\/a>, they \u00a0had a flame motif going up the side.<\/p>\n

The Nightswimming socks have that same motif, running up the left in this pic–<\/p>\n

May these socks keep you feisty, but surrounded by calm.<\/p>\n

These were designed by me which means they have the fitted arch and Welsh heel… But Meg likes them, too.<\/p>\n

\nknit, purl, yo, k2tog, ssk, working in the round, slipping purlwise, make 1 left and right, Kitchener stitch<\/p>\n

Materials<\/strong><\/em>
\nHappy Fuzzy Yarn Corrie Sock (75% Superwash Corriedale wool\/25% nylon; 435 yards\u00a0395m\/ 4 oz\u00a0114g) 1 skein; shown in Mostly Water colorway – or substitute any true fingering weight yarn

Size<\/strong><\/em>
\nWomen\u2019s S (M, L); To fit foot circumference approx. 7 \u00bd (8 \u00bd, 9 \u00bd)\u201d\u00a019 (21.5, 24) cm
\nGauge
\n36 sts and 50 rounds = 4in\u00a010cm\u00a0in stockinette<\/p>\n

Measurements<\/strong><\/em>
\nFoot circumference (unstretched) 6 \u00bd (7 \u00bc, 8)\u201d\u00a016.5 (18.5, 20.5) cm
\nLeg length 5\u201d\u00a013 cm\u00a0\u2013 adjustable to fit
\nFoot length \u2013 adjustable to fit<\/p>\n

Pattern Notes\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>
\nPay close attention to gauge \u2013 the pattern stitch tends to tighten the fabric and limit its stretchiness. Tight knitters may want to go up a size or adjust needles, yarn or both to customize fit.<\/p>\n

I also knit this in worsted with the fewest number of stitches in the pattern and got a very comfy bed sock. The flame motif is even more apparent on this one.<\/p>\n

\"RosieFirestarter-cover\"<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\nRosie\u2019s Firestarter socks<\/a> are easy-to knit because there\u2019s only little panel of something other than stockinette and that runs down the outside of the sock (making a distinct right and a left sock). But because Rosie hates to be bored there\u2019s also a Welsh heel (like the\u00a0WWMDfK?<\/em>\u00a0Fosco socks<\/a>) and a fitted arch.Thus, these suckers FIT.hey hug your foot nicely and the leg bit is easily extendable for you to make it as long as you need. Want to add calf shaping if you decide to go long? It\u2019s easy to do because the back of the leg is pure stockinette. (Andi\u2019s book\u00a0Big Foot Knits<\/em><\/a> would help with planning for that).
