SOCK
Knitted round on double pointed needles from mid back. Cast on 66-72-75 sts on
double pointed needle size 2 mm and knit 3 cm Rib *K1, P2*, repeat from *-*. Knit
1 round, at the same time inc 1 st in size 41/43 = 66-72-76 sts. Knit next round as
follows: 9-12-14 sts in stocking st, M.1 on the next 36 sts, 9-12-14 sts in stocking
st and M.1 on the next 12 sts. Continue in pattern like this until piece measures 5-
6-7 cm. Now adjust no of sts by dec 1-2-2 sts evenly in both stocking st parts = 64-
68-72 sts. Continue in pattern until piece measures 10-11-12 cm. Now keep the
first 8-10-12 sts on needle, put the next 36 sts on a thread or a stitch holder (= M.1
3 times - mid upper foot) and keep the last 20-22-24 sts on needle = 28-32-36 sts
for heel (insert a marking thread after 14-16-18 sts = mid back). Knit 5-5.5-6 cm
stocking sts on heel sts and then dec for heel – see decreasing for heel above.
After the heel dec pick up 15-16-18 sts on each side of the heel and put the 36 sts
from the thread or stitch holder back on the double pointed needles = 80-84-90 sts.
Continue in stocking sts on the first 22-24-27 sts, M.1 on the middle 36 sts and
stocking sts on the remaining 22-24-27 sts. At the same time dec each side as
follows: Knit the last 2 sts before the middle 36 sts mid upper foot twisted tog.(i.e
knit into the back part of the sts instead of the front part) and knit the 2 first sts
after the 36 sts tog. Dec on every other row a total of 12-11-11 times = 56-62-68
sts. Continue in pattern until piece measures 18-19-21 cm from MT on heel. Now
insert a marking thread each side (28-31-34 sts between each MT). Continue in
stocking sts on all sts and dec for toe on both sides of each marking thread as
follows: K2 tog, MT, K2 tog twisted tog. Repeat the dec on every other round a total
of 4-8-10 times and on every round a total of 7-4-2 times = 12-14-20 sts left. On
next round knit all sts tog 2 by 2. Cut the thread and pull it through remaining sts.
