AB, I think doing it with a steek is the best way. I'm not quite sure how that would be if you do it as a Henley, but I'm sure it can be done.

Thats a great pattern. I'm stuck in my ways and love the pattern I'm using. I may just steek but only have the zipper go down a little bit so more henley like. I've never put in a zipper but I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. I can always ship it to my cousin who can steek and put in zipper for me while I help her through learning lace.

I would just knit the pattern as written adding a steek between the cables.  I knit this  cardigan in the round using a steek and it worked out quite well.  This pattern was a free Knitty.com pattern called Samus.  It might have some good directions for adding a zipper Here is my example:    http://www.community.knitpicks.com/photo/bluesweater1-1?context=user

Happy Knitting!

http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/maximilian. How do I make this into a zippered cardigan as pattern is written for a pullover. Could I just divide the fronts in half since there is a cable on each side dividing it?

Or, let us know the name of the pattern...if it's a Ravelry freebie, or one we already have in our library, we can read along...also, chances are that someone here has already knit the pattern and can help even more.

Talisa, tell us what you are struggling with.  Write here what the pattern says, and we will try and tell you what that means to do.  Once you get started on a shawl, they go easy.

Thanks : ) I just wanted to be sure. You can always tell which socks are theirs!

OK, this is JUST me talking here, but I would NOT necessarily do any adjusting at all... you are making the socks to fit the total length of the foot (regardless of length of toes).. I would make sure of the length of the person's feet, and start the toes about 2" before the socks are the appropriate length.  But that's just me.

How would you adjust the increases/decreases of the toes of socks for someone with very long toes?
