EXPLANATIONS FOR THE PATTERN:
-------------------------------------------------------
PATTERN:
See diagrams A.1 to A.5. Find your size in the diagrams (applies to A.3 and A.4).
HEEL DECREASE:
ROW 1 (right side): Knit until there are 7-8-7 stitches left, slip the next stitch as if to knit, knit 1, pass the slipped stitch over the knitted stitch, turn the piece.
ROW 2 (wrong side): Purl until there are 7-8-7 stitches left, slip the next stitch as if to purl, purl 1, pass the slipped stitch over the purled stitch, turn the piece.
ROW 3 (right side): Knit until there are 6-7-6 stitches left, slip the next stitch as if to knit, knit 1, pass the slipped stitch over the knitted stitch, turn the piece.
ROW 4 (wrong side): Purl until there are 6-7-6 stitches left, slip the next stitch as if to purl, purl 1, pass the slipped stitch over the purled stitch, turn the piece.
Continue to decrease like this by working until there is 1 less stitch left before slipping the next stitch and until there are 13-11-11 stitches left on the needle.
DECREASE TIP (for toe):
Decrease 1 stitch on each side of the 3 middle stitches in A.2 as follows: Work until there is 1 stitch left before A.2, knit 2 together with medium grey, work the 3 middle stitches in A.2 as before, knit the next 2 stitches twisted together with medium grey (= 2 stitches decreased).

START THE PIECE HERE:
-------------------------------------------------------
SOCK - SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE PIECE:
The piece is worked in the round with double pointed needles, top down.
SOCK:
Cast on 56-60-64 stitches with double pointed needles size 3 mm = US 2,5 and red. Work 8 rounds in stockinette stitch. Then work a round of holes (= folding edge) as follows: * Knit 2 together, make 1 yarn over *, repeat from *-* to end of round.
Change to medium grey and work A.1 in the round (= 14-15-16 repeats of 4 stitches). When A.1 has been completed the piece measures approx. 6 cm = 2 3/8” from the cast-on edge.
The next round is worked as follows: A.2 (= 5 stitches), A.3 (= 23-25-27 stitches), A.2 (= 5 stitches) and A.4 (= 23-25-27 stitches). Continue this pattern. REMEMBER THE KNITTING GAUGE! When the last round in A.4 remains, decrease 2 stitches evenly spaced over the 23-25-27 stitches in A.4 (the other stitches are worked as before without decreases) = 54-58-62 stitches and the piece measures approx. 15 cm = 6” from the cast-on edge.
Place the stitches in A.2 + A.3 + A.2 on a thread (= 33-35-37 stitches on top of foot on thread).
There are now 21-23-25 stitches on the needle for the heel. Cast on 1 new stitch at the beginning of the row with medium grey and then work A.5a over the first 20-22-24 stitches on the heel, work A.5b (= 1 stitch) and cast on 1 new stitch at the end of the row with medium grey – the new stitches are edge stitches and worked with medium grey. Continue A.5a/A.5b back and forth over these 23-25-27 stitches. When you have worked 5½-6-6 cm = 2 1/8”-2 3/8”-2 3/8” over the heel stitches insert 1 marker in the middle of the row. Then work HEEL DECREASE – see description above (A.5 is continued at the same time as you decrease to heel).
After the heel decrease work the next round as follows: Continue A.5 over the 13-11-11 heel stitches as before, knit up 11-13-14 stitches along the side of the heel, continue A.2 + A.3 + A.2 as before over the 33-35-37 stitches from the thread and knit up 11-13-14 stitches along the other side of the heel = 68-72-76 stitches. Continue this pattern with A.5 under the foot, A.3 on top of foot and A.2 in each side. AT THE SAME TIME decrease on each side of the middle 31-33-35 stitches on top of foot as follows:
Knit together the 2 last stitches before the middle 31-33-35 stitches on top of foot using medium grey and knit twisted together the first 2 stitches after the middle 31-33-35 stitches using medium grey. Decrease like this every 2nd round a total of 6 times = 56-60-64 stitches. Continue this pattern until the piece measures 17-19-22 cm = 6 3/4”-7 1/2”-8 3/4” from the marker on the heel (there is now approx. 5 cm = 2” left to finished length; you can try the sock on and continue to desired length if necessary).
Then finish the piece as follows: Continue patterns A.5a/A.5b as before over the stitches under the foot, work A.2 in the side, A.5a over the next 22-24-26 stitches on top of foot, work A.5b (= 1 stitch), continue A.2 in the side and A.5a over the remaining stitches under the foot.
When the piece measures 18-20-23 cm = 7”-8”-9” from the marker in the heel, decrease to toe on each side of the middle 3 stitches in A.2 in each side – read DECREASE TIP (= 4 stitches decreased). Decrease like this each round a total of 10-11-12 times = 16 stitches. On the next round knit all stitches together 2 and 2 = 8 stitches. Cut the strands, pull them through the remaining stitches, tighten and fasten well.
ASSEMBLY:
Fold the top edge of the sock to the wrong side and sew down neatly with small stitches – make sure that the seam is not tight.
Work the other sock in the same way.

Hej! Förstår inte detta: " När sista varvet i A.4 återstår, minskas det 2 maskor jämnt fördelat över de 23-25-27 maskorna i A.4 (de övriga maskorna stickas som förut utan minskningar) = 54-58-62 maskor Vilket är sista varvet på A4? För stickar jag de sista två varven så blir mönstret annorlunda...

Hej Helene. Det sista varvet i A.4 är varvet längst upp på diagrammet (diagrammet läses nedifrån och upp). Det är alltså på det varvet med bara mellangrå du minskar 2 maskor så det kommer inte påverka mönstret. Mvh DROPS Design
16.03.2022 kl. 13:50Hallo, ich bin etwas unsicher Chart A 4 hört ja früher auf als A3, strickt man dann A4 wieder von unten nach oben und was ist mit den 2 letzten Reihen bei A3 werden die dann nur über die Hälfte gestrickt😕 Herzliche Grüße

Liebe Yvonne, haben Sie die Antwort unten gesehen? Könnte Sie Ihnen helfen?
03.09.2020 kl. 09:48Hallo, ich bin etwas unsicher Chart A 4 hört ja früher auf als A3, strickt man dann A4 wieder von unten nach oben und was ist mit den 2 letzten Reihen bei A3 werden die dann nur über die Hälfte gestrickt😕 Herzliche Grüße

Liebe Yvonne, die Runden sind so gestrickt: A.2, A.3, A.2, A.4. Wenn A.3 einmal in der Höhe gestrickt wird, dann wiederholen Sie das Diagram von der 1. Reihe ab = die 1. Reihe von 2. Rapport A.3 in der Höhe wird bei der selben Runde als 9. Reihe in A.4 gestrickt. Viel Spaß beim stricken!
03.09.2020 kl. 09:24När alla varv på A3 är stickade (på skaftet), börjar man om då?

Hej Agneta, ja du stickar A.3 tills arb mäter 15 cm, fortsätt enligt mönstret. Lycka till :)
24.02.2020 kl. 16:33Decreases on each side of middle 33 stitches. Are these 25 A3 stitches plus 8 A2 stitches?
18.09.2019 - 15:27DROPS Design answered:
Dear Mrs Ellis, right you slipped 4 sts A.2 + 25 sts A.3 + 4 sts A.2 = 33 sts for mid upper foot. Happy knitting!
18.09.2019 kl. 15:44I don’t understand what is meant by the middle 33 stitches for decrease on top
17.09.2019 - 13:53DROPS Design answered:
Hello! This means you have to decrease on each side of the sock. Happy knitting!
25.09.2019 kl. 11:47Takk for nydelig mønster, flott oppskrift. Alle som så meg strikke sokkene (3. par nå) beundret mønsteret!
14.09.2019 - 12:27Jeg har nå gjort hælfellinga som det står i mønstret med utgangspunkt i de 27 maskene på den største størrelsen. Da gjenstår det på pinnen 15 masker og ikke 11, som det står i mønstret. Hva er feil denne gangen?
09.12.2018 - 13:24Når jeg på siste omgang feller ei maske i hver A4 og skal sette A2+A4+A2 på en tråd får jeg 36 masker og ikke 37 som mønstret sier. Da har jeg igjen 26 masker og ikke 25 masker til hælen som mønstret sier. Hvor er feilen?
09.12.2018 - 12:04DROPS Design answered:
Hei Bittelina. De maskene som settes på en tråd er A.2 (=5 masker) +A.3(=27 masker) +A.2(=5 masker). 5+27+5 = 37 masker på en tråd. Det gjenstår nå 25 masker på pinnen. Når du skal strikke hælfelling strikker du til det gjenstår 7 masker på pinnenen, feller, snur og strikker tiol det gjenstår 7 masker på pinnen i den andre siden. Du fortsetter å felle i hver side til du har felt alle de 7 maskene i hver side. Du har da felt totalt 14 masker og har 11 masker igjen på pinnen. God fornøyelse
10.12.2018 kl. 07:57Tolle Anleitungen! Aber stehten die Diagramme hier nicht auf dem Kopf? LG

Liebe Frau Möller, die Diagramme werden immer von unten nach oben gelesen, und die Socken werden von oben nach unten gestrickt. Viel Spaß beim stricken!
