Note
Socks are worked from the cuff down in the round, but are knitted back and forth in rows between the heel and toe. The socks begin with the Double-stranded Estonian Cast-On for an impressive and elastic edge. Cuff and leg then worked in the round, using two different colors of yarn in every fifth round across the leg. Upon completing that part of the sock, half of the stitches are held to be worked later for the sole in Stockinette stitch in a darker color. The instep worked back and forth in rows in pattern as set with selvedge stitches at each end of it, then the toe is shaped using German short rows. The sole is then worked while joining to the instep at the same time. The heel is shaped using the same short row technique as for the toe, and it is joined to the back of the leg stitches by using the Kitchener stitch.
Except where otherwise stated, instructions for this pattern are written for circular needles, using the Magic Loop method, however you can easily work it on DPNs as well by dividing the sts over 3 or 4 needles, depending on your preference.
Keep in the same tension when working back and forth as in the round.
In order to maintain an even tension, while working cluster sts, make sure that the floats (the strand of yarn that’s not being knitted into sts, i.e. CC1) on the WS of the fabric do not become too short. To ensure that the floats are long enough to allow the fabric to stretch fully, spread out the sts you just worked as far apart as possible on the RH needle, at each time when you change color, especially at the upper part of the leg. In other words, work as you would work stranded-colorwork.

Note
履き口から編む靴下. かかとからつま先の間は往復編みで編む. Double-stranded Estonian Cast-Onで作り目し, 5周目の色を変えながら履き口, 脚を編む. かかとの目を休め, 端目を作りながら甲を往復編みで編む. つま先は引き返し編みで作り, 続けて甲に編み付けながら足裏を編む. かかとはつま先と同様に引き返し編みで作り, 休めていた後ろ脚の目とメリヤスはぎする.
マジックループの方法で書いてあるが, 往復編み部分は4本棒針を用いると良い. また, 輪編みと往復編みでゲージを揃えるように編むこと.
クラスターステッチ部分でゲージが変わりやすいため, 十分な長さをとって裏側で糸を渡すこと.
