ROW 3 (= right side): Knit until there are 4-5-5 stitches left, slip 1 stitch as if to knit, knit 1 and pass the slipped stitch over the knitted stitch, turn the piece.
ROW 4 (= wrong side): Purl until there are 4-5-5 stitches left, slip 1 stitch as if to purl, purl 1 and pass the slipped stitch over the purled stitch, turn the piece.
Continue to decrease like this, working until there is 1 stitch less each time before slipping a stitch and until there are 10-10-12 stitches left on the needle.

START THE PIECE HERE:
-------------------------------------------------------
SOCKS - SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE PIECE:
Work 2 socks with different stripes. When working with 2 strands use the strand from both the inside and outside of the ball.The piece is worked in the round with double pointed needles and 2 strands Fabel.
SOCK:
Cast on 44-48-52 stitches with double pointed needles size 4 mm = US 6 and 2 strands ruby red. Work STRIPES SOCK 1 – see description above. Knit 2 rounds. REMEMBER THE KNITTING GAUGE! Continue with rib (knit 2 / purl 2) until the piece measures 4-5-6 cm = 1 1/2”-2”-2 3/8”. Insert 1 marker thread in the first stitch on the round (= mid back). Continue with stockinette stitch (change to 2 strands mustard). Then decrease in the different sizes as follows:
Size 35/37 = 5/6 1/2”: When the piece measures 11 cm = 4 3/8” decrease 1 stitch on each side of the stitch with the marker thread.
Size 38/40 = 7 1/2/9: When the piece measures 8 and 14 cm = 3 1/8” and 5 1/2” decrease 1 stitch on each side of the stitch with the marker thread.
Size 41/43 = 9 1/2/10 1/2: When the piece measures 10 and 17 cm = 4” and 6 3/4” decrease 1 stitch on each side of the stitch with the marker thread = 42-44-48 stitches.
Work until the piece measures 16-17½ -21½ cm = 6 1/4”-6 7/8”-8 1/2”. Now keep the first 9-10-11 stitches on the needles, place the next 24-24-26 stitches on 1 thread (= top of foot) and keep the last 9-10-11 stitches on the needles = 18-20-22 stitches for the heel. Work stockinette stitch back and forth over the heel stitches for 5-5½-6 cm = 2”-2 1/8”-2 3/8”. Insert 1 marker thread; the piece is now measured from here.
Then decrease for the heel – see HEEL DECREASE. After the heel decrease knit up 10-11-11 stitches on each side of the heel and place the 24-24-26 stitches from the thread back on the needles = 54-56-60 stitches. Insert 1 marker thread on each side of the 24-24-26 stitches on top of foot. Continue with stockinette stitch in the round, AT THE SAME TIME as you decrease at each marker thread every 2nd round 8-8-8 times as follows: Knit twisted together the last 2 stitches before the first marker thread and knit together the first 2 stitches after the second marker thread = 38-40-44 stitches. Work until the piece measures 18-20-22 cm = 7”-8”-8 3/4” from the marker thread on the heel (= 4-4-5 cm = 1 1/2”-1 1/2”-2” left). Now insert 1 marker thread on each side of the piece, with 19-20-22 stitches both on top of and under the foot. Then decrease for the toe on each side of both marker threads. Before the marker thread; knit 2 together. After the marker thread: knit 2 twisted together. Decrease like this every 2nd round a total of 5-5-6 times and then every round 2-2-2 times = 10-12-12 stitches left on the needles. On the next round knit all stitches together 2 and 2. Cut the strand, pull it through the remaining stitches, tighten and fasten well.
Work the other sock in the same way but cast on with rust and work STRIPES SOCK 2.
The clown around pattern, in my opinion, is poorly written. I am an experienced pattern reader. The area of the heel should have stated to pick up stitches along the length of the heel gusset. I wasted alot of time trying to figure out that gusset, only to finally discover on your posted video that you are using the traditional method of knitting the heel. However, I did find a good pattern to knit some double stranded wool socks. Thank you.

28.09.2020 - 08:19Jeg forstår følgende: når arbejdet måler 10 og 17 cm, tages der ind. Hvorfor er der to mål for samme størrelse?

Hei Anne. Det skal tas inn 2 ganger. Første gang når arbidet måler 10 cm og 2. gang når arbeidet måler 17 cm. God Fornøyelse!
28.09.2020 kl. 17:04Tere! Koon oma elu esimesi sokke :) On kirjas, et pärast kanna kahandusi jääb ringile 60 silma. Paigaldada 1 silmusemärkija mõlemale küljele, nii et jalapealsel ja talla all on 24-24-26 silmust. Ma teen kõige suurem suurust. 26+26 teeb kokku ju 52 silma. Ilmselt trükiviga. Aga kumma jaoks rohkem peaks jätma, kas kannale või jalapealsele? Või ikka see 60 silma võrdselt ära jagada, ehk siis 30 ja 30 silma? Tervitades, Nele
