This is a wonderfully fun sock pattern to knit up. “Mahalle” (ma-ha-lay) means “neighborhood” in Turkish. This is a Toe Up version of the Top Down sock which has been knit in Turkish families for generations.
The toe uses a traditional Turkish Figure 8 Cast On, with no seam at the edge of the toes. The foot is knit in the round, in stockinette stitch. The Heel is turned using three DPNs knit flat in short rows to maintain the striping more consistently. The number of leg sts is greater than those for the foot, and either can be easily increased or decreased at the Heel flap section for better fit, as desired.
The Mahalle Sock Pattern by Urth Yarns is designed to highlight the unique characteristics of Uneek Fingering Yarn, knit using 1 skein in the stockinette stitch.
This hand-dyed, machine washable, extrafine merino yarn does all of the hard work, making this an easy project.
And for an extra bonus, if you post a photo of your project and tag us and Urth Yarns on social media (@revolutionfibers & @urthyarns) then Urth Yarns plants a tree for every completed project. So let's save our heads from the elements while we assist in saving the world!
