continue once around. Then k. 5 rows without narrowing. Then a row of
narrowing with interval of 4 sts. and 4 plain rows; 3 sts. and 3 plain
rows, and 2 sts. and 2 plain rows, until you have only 24 sts. left.
After last narrowing k. 2 rows plain, and then divide sts. on 2 needles,
12 on “front” needle, 12 on “heel” needle. Break off wool thread length
and use darning needle.
Holding the knitting needles together with “front” needle next to you,
wool at right end of “heel” needle, we are now ready to finish the
“Kitchener toe.”
With wool always under knitting needles and at right of darning needle,
slip darning needle through the first “front” st. in the position of
“knitting” and slip st. off the knitting needle.
Slip darning needle through second “front” st. in the position of
“purling” and leave st. on the knitting needle, making a “prepared” st.
Draw wool close as in knitting.
Slip darning needle trough first “heel” st., as in “purling.” and slip
st. off knitting needle. Slip darning needle through second “heel” st.
as in “knitting,” and leave st. on knitting needle as a “prepared” st.
Now slip darning needle through second “front” st. in position of
“knitting” and slip st. off knitting needle. Slip darning needle through
third “front” st. in position of “purling” to “prepare.”
Purl second “heel” st., slip it off knitting needle, and knit third
“heel” st. to prepare.
Continue until all sts. are slipped off, and then weave thread
lengthwise through the sock for 4 inches. Also thread the 4-inch length
of wool at beginning of sock and weave it into the leg lengthwise.
