Cast on
Cast on 69 stitches with crochet hook and knit all stitches. Note: if you work with more or fewer stitches, the number of stitches should be a multiple of 4!
Ribbing
In the next row slip first stitch on needle 1 knit wise, work 1 row of ribbing (see Ribbing Chart) and divide all stitches evenly on 4 dpns or 2 circs, purl last stitch with first (slipped) stitch together to join in the round (be careful not to twist the work), 68 stitches should be remaining! Work another 19 Rounds of Ribbing or to desired cuff length! You could also work your own preferred ribbing.

Leg
Because Cable patterns didn't have much ease, the Chart includes stitches for bigger sizes (extra marked with theviolet lines)! The example is knitted with 72 stitches! After the ribbing work one round of knitted stitches and if needed increase evenly on all needles to desired stitch count. Now work the leg by following the Chart.

Nork toe as follows, or every shape of toe that you
After the 72 Rounds of the Foot (R 6 to R 77) are worked the toe is worked as follows.

Now repeat R 1 until 5 sts remain on every Needle.
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
