Sock: Knitted in the round on double pointed needles from mid back. Cast on 42-48-54 sts on needle size 4 mm with 1 thread no 153 and 1 thread no 159 and work 2 rounds stocking st. Continue in Rib, K4/P2, for 6 cm. Remember the knitting tension! Now insert a Marking Thread (MT) in the first st at beg of round (= mid back) and continue in stocking st and stripes – see above. Dec as follows:
Size 35/37: Continue without dec.
Size 38/40: When piece measures 9 and 16 cm dec 1 st on both sides of MT.
Size 41/43: When piece measures 8, 13 and 18 cm dec 1 st on both sides of MT.
= 42-44-48 sts. When piece measures 24-25-26 cm keep the first 9-10-11 sts on needle, put the next 24-24-26 sts on a thread (= mid upper foot) and keep the last 9-10-11 sts on needle = 18-20-22 sts for heel. Work 5-5.5-6 cm stocking on heel sts, insert a MT (to measure from) and now make heel dec – see Heel decreases above. Now pick up 10-11-11 sts on either side of heel and put the 24-24-26 sts from thread back on needle = 54-56-60 sts on round. Insert a MT on either side of the 24-24-26 sts mid upper foot and continue in stocking st. At the same time dec each side of heel as follows: K2 tog into back of st before the 24-24-26 sts on upper foot and K2 tog after the 24-24-26 sts on every other round a total of 8-8-8 times = 38-40-44 sts. Continue until piece measures 18-20-22 cm from MT in heel and now insert a MT each side with 19-20-22 sts on upper foot and 19-20-22 sts under foot. Continue in stocking st, at the same time dec 1 st on both sides of each MT on every other round a total of 5-5-6 times and then on every round a total of 2-2-2 times as follows: Before 1 st and MT: K2 tog, after MT and 1 st: K2 tog into back of st = 10-12-12 sts left on round. On next round K tog all sts 2 by 2. Cut the thread, pull through remaining sts and fasten.
