This style of sock is also sometimes referred to as “Bed Socks”, “House Socks”, “Tube Socks”. This pattern is summarized as a regular cuff down sock with a 1x1 ribbed cuff and a mock rib leg/foot with a “no wrap” short row toe. This features a sock without a heel, making them a universal fit, without the bumpy actual ribbing leg/foot ridges with a good ribbed cuff to help these stay up on an average person.

THE BEST THING TO CONSIDER WHEN WORKING ANY SOCK RECIPE IS THAT YOU CAN EASILY PLUG YOUR OWN PREFERRED CUFF, HEEL OR TOE METHODS - IF THAT’S YOUR PREFERENCE

0:00 - Intro
1:16 - Reviewing Plan for today - mention Anchor Yarn Tail Technique
2:38 - Sock fresh off the machine
2:57 - How many rows should one make these? Sizing
3:37 - Comparing project sizing to a regular sock
5:01 - Layout of the machine and the clock points for easy reference
5:15 - I've Cast On already so we discuss where we start on the CSM
6:49 - Adding the Ribber to the machine (while on scrap yarn)
8:04 - Adding Ribber needles to the Ribber Dial
14:24 - Tucking Scrap Yarn into the machine using the Quick Start Ribber Tool
15:38 - Anchor Yarn Tail Technique to start with your project yarn
19:30 - Selvage complete now to work the 40 row cuff
20:06 - Cuff complete now to transfer needles/stitches to remove ribber and setup Mock Rib.
24:10 - Ribber removed from the machine now to work the Leg/Foot (no heel on this pattern)
25:09 - Add cylinder needles into empty cylinder slots to prep to work the toe
28:48 - Lift back needles setting up for the Toe then work the Toe DECREASE until one needle before the marks on each side
31:53 - Toe DECREASE DONE, now to work the Toe INCREASE using the No Wrap Method until all the needles on the left are down before the 9 o'clock mark. Move to 6 o'clock.
36:29 - Project Sock yarn is now done.
36:52 - Add Scrap yarn to the machine and then add stich markers to the stitches on both sides of the halfway marks - it makes closing the toes easier later.
38:25 - Reviewing steps with scrap etc and setup for second sock.
41: 58 - Setup for next sock done. Demo how to remove scrap from project sock yarn when we haven't used ravel cord.
