Work 1 Round all stitches as they shows, and increase evenly on every Needle 1 stitch (56 stiches total) Now work the Leg Chart on Needle 2 and 3 and on Needle 4 and 1 work all the stitches as they shows!

Its important to finish the Leg with R50 of the Leg Chart, so it meets later correctly with the Instep chart.

Gusset Heel

Now work Heel Flap, Heel turn and Gusset as follows or work a Heel as you like.

Slip - stitch Heel Flap:

The Heel flap is worked with slipped stitches for a total of 24 Rows (back and forth) on Needle 4 + 1. The red lines are marking the stitch repeat (repeat them as often as needed). The blue lines are marking the Row repeat (repeat them as often as needed). The uneven Rows of the Chart are the right side rows (they are worked from right to left). The even Rows of the Chart are the wrong side rows (they are worked from left to right).

Knit 8 stitches (Nd. 4). Now start to work in the round again

Feet / Instep

Continue Instep as Chart shows, while always knitting the sole stitches. Work the Chart for Instep one time from R 2 - 27 one time and one time from R 5 - 27. Then repeat the R 28 - 31 one time and R 29 - 31 as often as needed until the foot is approx. 4 - 5 cm shorter then desired foot length.

Needle 3

Needle 2

Borders

dont work these rows again ( they are only for orientation) position for marker or needle separation (dpns) Pattern repeat - ( repeat these Rows)

Toe:

To set up for working the toe section it is important to rearrange the stitches! Slip first stitch from Needle 2 to Needle 1 and the last stitch from Needle 3 to needle 4. Now each needle should hold 13 stitches.

Work toe as follows, or every shape of toe that you like!

R 1 (decrease round): Nd. 1 + 3: k to 3 sts before end of Needle - k2tog - k1 Nd. 2 + 4: k1 - k2togtbl - k rem. sts R 2 (plain round): Nd. 1 - 4: k all sts Repeat R 1 + 2 until 9 stitches remain on every Needle. Now repeat R 1 until 4 sts remain on every Needle. Knit the stitches on Needle 1 again (without decreasing), now the Yarn is at the side of the foot.

Close the Sock:

Slip all remaining Instep stitches on one safety pin (close it!) and the remaining sole stitches on the second safety pin (close it!) Break Yarn, leaving at least a 10 Inch long tail. Now turn the Sock inside out. Slip the stitches from the first safety pin on one dpn and the stitches from the second safety pin on a second dpn. Close the sock with Three - Needle - Bind - Off. Hold one dpn behind the second in left hand and with a third dpn in right hand knit the first stitch from both left hand dpns together, repeat with the next stitches, now lift the first worked stitch from right hand needle over second worked stitch - 1 stitch remains on right hand needle. Work all remaining stitches from left hand needles in the same manner until only one stitch remains on right hand needle. Pull remaining tail of yarn through last stitch and pull tight! Wave in the ends (on cuff and toe) and work second sock. If used, pull the counting thread when the second sock is finished.

Happy knitting!

Dear knitter, because I don't speak English, my daughter (cdknuddel) is translating for me. Her English is out of school and also not very good, she try's her best to translate my German patterns for the English speaking community on Ravelry. If you find any errors, or if you have any questions about the pattern, or if something is not understandable, please contact me or her over PM on Ravelry (my user name is babs12351 and my daughter is cdknuddel) so that we could learn and correct the errors! Thanks in advance for your help! Greets Babs
