Instruction:
Use your favorite method to cast on/ knit the toe. I recommend the “magic cast on for toe-up socks" (Knitty Spring 06). Stitches needed to go on with the instep: 64 When you have finished the toe knit 16 stitches and place a marker. This point will be the beginning of each round and is placed at the sole of your feet. Round 1-3: knit with MC Round 4-6: knit with CC Round 7-9: knit with MC Round 10-12: work in color pattern 1 Round 13-15: knit with MC

Round 63-65: knit with MC, but stop 16 stitches before the beginning of the next round. Take scrap yarn and knit with it the next 32 stitches. Knit these again using the working yarn (MC). Knit the remaining stitches until you reach the marker.
