 Points on the diagram labeled A are where the butterflies are attached to either the sock or a base row on the sock. The diagram is also labeled according to which shuttle is used for each ring.
For more info on attaching the lace to socks, please see the bobby socks page.
The four picots on the wings are graduated in size. I've written it out as large picot, medium picot, small picot, and very small picot. The picots in the middle of the lower wings would be a small picot. You will need two shuttles in the CTM.
R1: 1ds, p, 8ds, join to sock, 8 ds, p, 1 ds. Cl R.
R2: With shuttle 1, 1ds, + to p on previous R, 12ds, large p, 2ds, medium p, 2ds, small p, 2 ds, very small p, 6ds, p 1ds. Cl R.
R3: With shuttle 2, 1ds, + to p on previous R, 8ds, small p, 8ds, p, 1ds. Cl R.
R4: Split Ring, with shuttle 1, 1ds, + to p on R2, 6ds, very small p, 2ds, small p, 2ds, medium p, 2 ds, large p, 2ds/ with shuttle 2, 1ds, + to p on R3, 10ds.Clr.
R5: Split R, with shuttle 1, 2ds, large p, 2ds, medium p, 2ds, small p, 2 ds, very small p, 6ds, p 1ds/ with shuttle 2, 10ds, p, 1ds. Cl R.
R6: with shuttle 1, 1ds, + to p on previous R, 12ds, large p, 2ds, medium p, 2ds, small p, 2 ds, very small p, 6ds, p 1ds. Cl R.
R7: with shuttle 2, 1ds, + to p on previous R, 8ds, small p, 8ds, p, 1ds. Cl R.
R8: split ring, with shuttle 1, 1ds, + to p on R6, 8ds/ with shuttle 2, 1ds, + to p on R7, 8ds. Cl R.
Repeat until you have enough butterflies to go around the sock. Using a size 10 thread, it requires 16 butterflies for an adult size sock, and with size 80 thread it requires 32.
