Now work according to the chart (see page 6 or 7 depending on the size).

Work the chart a total of 3 times or x the number of times until the desired leg length is
achieved, and only work the sts from the 1st and 2nd needle in the last round (round 16).
Then start working the heel.

Note: If the leg needs to be longer than the specified repeats, you will of course
need to use more yarn. This must be taken into account when purchasing
the yarn.

HEEL
Put the sts from the 1st and 2nd needle on hold. Continue working the sts on the 3rd and
4th needle in stockinette stitch in the following way:

RS row: 1 edge st (k though the back loop), p2, k all sts until 3 sts remain, p2, 1 edge
st (slip the st purlwise with the yarn in front of the work).
WS row: 1 edge st (k though the back loop), k2, p all sts until 3 sts remain, k2, 1 edge
st (slip the st purlwise with the yarn in front of the work).
Work as many rows as indicated in the table under ”Heel height, row count”.

HEEL TURN
Distribute the heel sts evenly across 3 needles. For sizes 36/37 (US 5.5-6.5) og 38/39 (US
7.5-8) the distribution will be 10/10/10 sts, for size 40/41 (US 9-10) the distribution is
10/12/10 sts per needle. On the following RS row, k all sts on the 1st and 2nd needle, * slip
the last st on the 2nd needle knitwise (with the yarn behind the work), k the following st on
the 3rd needle and pass the slipped st over, turn your work, slip 1 st purlwise (with the yarn
behind the work), p all sts on the 2nd needle until 1 st remains on that needle, purl this st
together with the following st on the 1st needle, turn your work, slip 1 st purlwise (with the
yarn in front of the work), k all sts on the 2nd needle until 1 st remains on that needle.
Continue and repeat from *, until all sts on the 1st and 3rd needle have been worked.

PICKING UP GUSSET STITCHES

Note: The needles keep their original numbers, so the round starts here
with the 4th needle.

Distribute the sts from the middle part on 2 needles. The round starts in the middle.
Following the sts of the middle piece, pick up the subsequent edge sts on the heel with the
4th needle, insert it through both stitch loops and knit them (number of stitches, see table
"Number of gusset stitches to be picked up on both sides"). K the sts on the 1st and 2nd
needle, which have been on hold, according to the chart (1st round and following). With the
3rd needle, pick up the edge sts on the other heel edge like before and k them. There are
now more sts on the 3rd and 4th needle than at the start of the heel, i.e. as many sts as half
of the sts in the middle piece.

GUSSET DECREASES
Continue working the sts on the 3rd and 4th needle in stockinette stitch = k every round. On
the following 3rd round, k the 2nd and 3rd to last stitch together on the 4th needle, k the 1st
stitch on the 3rd needle, slip the 2nd stitch, k the 3rd stitch and pull the slipped stitch over,
k the remaining sts on the 3rd needle. Repeat these decreases on every subsequent 3rd
round until there are the same number of sts on the 3rd and 4th needle as at the beginning
of the heel.

Work the 1st and 2nd needle according to the chart and continue across the 3rd and 4th
needle in stockinette stitch until you have reached the length indicated in the table under
"Heel to start of toe measures".

If possible, finish with a round 6, 8 or 16, as it looks best in relation to the pattern.

TOE DECREASES
K all sts on the 4th needle until 3 sts remain, k the 2nd and 3rd to last sts together and k1.
On the 1st needle, k the 1st st, slip the 2nd stitch, knit the 3rd stitch and pull the slipped
stitch over, k the remaining sts on the 1st needle. Work the decrease on the 2nd needle like
on the 4th one, work the decrease on the 3rd needle like on the 1st one. After the 1st round
of decreases, work 3 rounds in stockinette stitch, after the 2nd and 3rd round of decreases
work 2 rounds in stockinette stitch, after the 4th, 5th and 6th round of decreases work 1
round in stockinette stitch. Then decreases are worked on every subsequent round until
there are only 8 sts left on the needles. Use Kitchener Stitch to sew the sts from the upper
part of the sock together with the sts from the sole or pull the sts together with double
thread and weave in the end.
