Flat ribbed sock.

Use your own calculations for cast on stitches and rows.

1. Cast on  _____ sts in 1 x1 rib and knit _____ rows. (Any combination of  ribbing sts works nicely for this sock.)
2. Put half the sts on the left side of the bed in hold and knit the sts left in work, 
off onto waste yarn and remove from the machine. Place a marker on opposite side. This 
marker will help you know if you are on track when seaming the foot, in step 7. 
3. Take ribber comb and weights off the bottom of the cuff.
4. Place weights under needles in hold. Take carriage off hold and continue knitting 
another _____ rows (length of foot measurement), ending with COR
5. Transfer the sts up to the main bed and drop the ribber.
6. Short row the toe to ______ sts (this is normally 1/3 of the sts in working position) 
and then back out. I sometimes add a wooly nylon to the toe, or change colours here. 
I usually tighten my tension as well a few dots, but remember to return it to the main
 tension when done.
7. Knit ______ rows (this is the same amount as the top of the foot in step 4). As
 you knit each row... pick up one edge stitch of the ribbed portion of the foot and 
put it on the last needle in work on the carriage side. (Seam as you go).Continue until
 all the edge sts of the top of the foot have been joined to the bottom portion of the 
foot and you reach your marker.
8. Short row the heel, the same as the toe.
9. Take off the sts on to waste yarn and remove from the machine.
10. Mattress st the live sts (from the heel and the bottom of the cuff) 
together from the wrong side so there will not be a visible seam on the 
right side. 
11. Seam the ribbed cuff. 
12. Make another sock, reversing the instructions in step 2.
