Love your pattern. As a beginner knitter, however, I got confused re track pattern directions – do the three rows repeat? or is one to figure out how succeeding rows progress. The rest of the directions seem quite clear to me. Thanks –

Yes Pat that is correct. The three rows repeat to form the random tracks pattern. Sorry that wasn’t too clear. Thank you for contacting me.

On the “Turn Heel” instructions, what does the term “sks” mean? In 50+ years of knitting, I’ve never run across this, and I can’t find it in any knitting glossary. I’m assuming it’s a decrease? Like a “slip slip knit” (ssk)?

Hi Nancy, The abbreviation is at the top of the pattern. sks (slip, knit, slip) Sl next stitch, knit one stitch, pass slipped stitch over knitted stitch (one stitch decreased).

Oh, all right. I looked on the pattern and couldn’t find it. That’s what I’ve always heard called the SKP (slip, knit, pass). Thanks!

Does it take one ball of sock yarn for both socks or a ball per sock? Im new to socks!

Generally, a 100g ball of sock wool will do one pair of adult socks. I’ve knitted over 35 pairs of socks and I’ve always had wool left over. Good luck knitting your socks. I hope you become addicted as I did. The secret is to knit a few pairs in a row so you really get to understand the concept 🙂
