PATTERN
See diagrams A.1 to A.4. The patterns are all worked in stocking stitch.
HEEL DECREASES
ROW 1 (= right side): Knit until there are 7-7-7 stitches left, slip 1 stitch as if to knit, knit 1 and pass the slipped stitch over the knitted stitch, turn the piece.
ROW 2 (= wrong side): Purl until there are 7-7-7 stitches left, slip 1 stitch as if to purl, purl 1 and pass the slipped stitch over the purled stitch, turn the piece.
ROW 3 (= right side): Knit until there are 6-6-6 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 6-6-6 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 12-14-16 stitches left on the needle.
DECREASE TIP (for toe):
Start 3 stitches before the marker, knit 2 together, knit 2 (marker sits between these 2 stitches), slip 1 stitch as if to knit, knit 1 and pass the slipped stitch over the knitted stitch (2 stitches decreased). Repeat at the second marker.
SOCK – SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE PIECE
The piece is worked in the round with double pointed needles, top down. The chicks’ beaks are embroidered to finish.
The length of the sock is matching the length of the foot. If you want the sock to be stretched a little when wearing it, the length of the sock can be knitted a little shorter before decreasing for the toe.
LEG
Cast on 76-80-84 stitches with double pointed needles size 3 mm and colour rose DROPS Karisma. Knit 1 round, then work 1 round of rib (knit 2, purl 2). Change to colour light beige brown and continue with rib until the piece measures 4-4-5 cm. Knit 1 round where you decrease 12-8-12 stitches evenly spaced = 64-72-72 stitches.
Change to double pointed needles size 3.5 mm. Work A.1, 8-9-9 times in width on the round. REMEMBER THE KNITTING TENSION!
When A.1 is finished in height, work A.2, 8-9-9 times in width on the round, decreasing as follows:
On the round with arrow-1 decrease 4 stitches evenly spaced = 60-68-68 stitches.
On the round with arrow-2 decrease 4 stitches evenly spaced = 56-64-64 stitches.
On the round with arrow-3 decrease 4 stitches evenly spaced = 52-60-60 stitches..
On the round with arrow-4 decrease 4 stitches evenly spaced = 48-56-56 stitches.
On the round with arrow-5 decrease 0-4-0 stitches evenly spaced = 48-52-56 stitches.
When A.2 is finished the piece measures approx. 34-34-35 cm. If the piece is shorter than this continue with stocking stitch in colour light oak to the correct length.
HEEL AND FOOT
Continue with colour light oak as follows: Knit the first 12-13-14 stitches and keep them on the needle for the heel, place the next 24-26-28 stitches on a thread (top of foot) and keep the last 12-13-14 stitches on the needle for the heel = 24-26-28 heel-stitches.
Work the heel-stitches in stocking stitch back and forth with colour light oak for 6-6-6½ cm. Insert 1 marker in the middle of the last row – the foot is measured from this marker.
Work HEEL DECREASES – read description above.
After heel decreases, work in the round as follows: Knit the 12-14-16 heel stitches, knit up 13-13-14 stitches along one side of the heel, knit the 24-26-28 stitches from the thread and knit up 13-13-14 stitches along the other side of the heel = 62-66-72 stitches. Work to the middle of the heel – the round now starts here.
Insert 1 marker on each side of the 24-26-28 stitches on top of the foot.
Work A.3, AT THE SAME TIME decrease on each side as follows: Knit together the last 2 stitches before the first marker and knit twisted together the first 2 stitches after the second marker.
Decrease like this every 2nd round a total of 7-9-8 times = 48-48-56 stitches.
When A.3 is finished, continue with stocking stitch in colour light oak until the foot measures 12-13-15 cm from the marker on the heel and measured under the foot.
Work A.4 6-6-7 times in width on the round.
On the round with arrow-6 decrease 4-0-4 stitches evenly spaced = 44-48-52 stitches.
When A.4 is finished, the foot measures approx. 18-19-21 cm from the marker on the heel and measured under the foot. If the piece is shorter than this continue with stocking stitch in colour rose to the correct length.
There is approx. 4-5-5 cm left; try the sock on and work to desired length.
TOE
Insert 1 marker on each side, with 22-24-26 stitches on top of and underneath the foot. Work stocking stitch with colour rose. AT THE SAME TIME on the first round decrease on each side of both markers – read DECREASE TIP (= 4 stitches decreased). Decrease like this every 2nd round a total of 4-5-5 times, then every round 5-5-6 times = 8-8-8 stitches.
Cut the strand, pull it through the remaining stitches, tighten and fasten well.
The foot measures approx. 22-24-26 cm measured under the foot.
Work the other sock in the same way.
