EXPLANATIONS FOR THE PATTERN:

-------------------------------------------------------

HEEL DECREASE:
ROW 1 (= right side): Knit until there are 5-5-5-5 stitches left, slip 1 stitch, knit 1 and pass the
slipped stitch over, turn the piece.
ROW 2 (= wrong side): Purl until there are 5-5-5-5 stitches left, slip 1 stitch, purl 1 and pass
the slipped stitch over, turn the piece.
ROW 3 (= right side): Knit until there are 4-4-4-4 stitches left, slip 1 stitch, knit 1 and pass the
slipped stitch over, turn the piece.
ROW 4 (= wrong side): Purl until there are 4-4-4-4 stitches left, slip 1 stitch, purl 1 and pass
the slipped stitch over, turn the piece.
Continue to decrease in this way, by working until there is 1 less stitch before slipping a
stitch and until there are 10-10-10-10 stitches left.

START THE PIECE HERE:

-------------------------------------------------------

SOCK - SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE PIECE:

The whole piece is worked with 2 strands. You work in the round with double pointed
needles as far as the heel. Then the heel is worked back and forth before nishing the sock
in the round.

SOCK:
Cast on 50-50-55-55 stitches on double pointed needles size 4 mm = US 6 with 1 strand o
white and 1 strand pink dream (= 2 strands). Knit 2 rounds, then work rib with knit 2/ purl 3.
REMEMBER THE KNITTING GAUGE!
When the piece measures 8-11-13-15 cm = 3 1/8”-4 3/8”-5 1/8”-6” decrease all purl 3 to purl
2; decrease by purling 2 together and then purl 1 = 40-40-44-44 stitches. Continue with rib
(knit 2/ purl 2) until the piece measures 17-20-22-24 cm = 6 3/4”-8”-7 3/4”-8 3/4”-9 1/2”. Now
keep the rst 18-18-18-18 stitches on the needles for heel (the rst 2 and last 2 of these
stitches are knitted), place the next 22-22-26-26 stitches on 1 thread (= mid top of foot).
Work stockinette stitch back and forth over the heel stitches for 5-5-5-5 cm = 2”-2”-2”-2”.
Insert 1 marker – the piece is now measured from here! Then decrease to heel – READ HEEL
DECREASE! After the heel decrease knit up 10-10-10-10 stitches on each side of the heel and
the 22-22-26-26 stitches from the thread are placed back on the needles = 52-52-56-56
stitches. Insert 1 marker on each side of the 22-22-26-26 stitches on top of foot. Then
continue with rib over the stitches on top of foot, the other stitches are worked in
stockinette stitch - AT THE SAME TIME decrease on each side as follows: Knit twisted
together the last 2 stitches before the stitches on top of foot (i.e. work in the back of both
stitches instead of the front) and knit together the rst 2 stitches after the stitches on top of
foot. Decrease like this every 2nd round 10-9-10-8 times = 32-34-36-40 stitches. Continue
with rib over the 22-22-26-26 stitches on top of foot and stockinette stitch over the 10-12-10-
14 stitches under the foot until the piece measures 14-16-18-20 cm = 5 1/2”-6 1/4”-7”-8” from
the heel marker (= 4-4-4-4 cm = 1 1/2”-1 1/2”-1 1/2”-1 1/2” left).
Now insert 1 marker in each side so that there are 16-17-18-20 stitches both on top and
underneath the foot. Finish with stockinette stitch – AT THE SAME TIME decrease for the toe
on each side of both markers.
Decrease as follows, when there are 3 stitches left before the marker:
Knit 2 together, knit 2 (marker sits in the middle of these 2 stitches), knit 2 twisted together.
Decrease on each side every 2nd round a total of 3-3-3-3 times and then every round 3-3-3-4
times = 8-10-12-12 stitches left on needles. On the next round knit all stitches together 2 and
2. Cut the strand and pull it through the remaining stitches, pull tight and fasten well.

Work the other sock in the same way.
