DECREASE TIP
Start 3 stitches before the marker, knit 2 together, knit 2 (marker sits between these 2 stitches), slip 1 stitch knit-wise, knit 1 and pass the slipped stitch over the knitted stitch (2 stitches decreased).
SOCKS – SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE PIECE
The piece is worked in the round with double pointed needles, from leg to toe.
To make room for the heel, stitches are increased until the heel width and length are achieved, then stitches are decreased while working towards the toe.
The increases and decreases form a diamond shaped heel.
LEG
Cast on 60-64-68 stitches with double pointed needles size 2.5 mm and DROPS Fabel.
Work rib in the round (purl 2, knit 2) for 16-17-18 cm. Remember to maintain the knitting tension.
Now work the heel and foot.
HEEL AND FOOT
You now increase for the heel on each side of 10-18-18 stitches under the foot. The heel-stitches are worked in stocking stitch while continuing rib across the other stitches. Insert 1 marker between the first 2 purled stitches on the round (mid-under the foot) and allow the marker to follow your work onwards.
INCREASE 1:
Work until there are 5-9-9 stitches left before the marker, increase 1 stitch by using the left needle to pick up the yarn between 2 stitches from round below, pick up the yarn from the front and knit in the stitch loop that is on the back of the needle, knit 10-18-18 (the marker is in the middle of these stitches), use the left needle to pick up the yarn between 2 stitches from round below, pick up the yarn from the back and knit in the stitch loop that is on the front of the needle (2 increased stitches). Work to marker at end of round.
Next round: Continue rib and stocking stitch, finishing 6-10-10 stitches before the marker. Increase as described below.
INCREASE 2:
Use the left needle to pick up the yarn between 2 stitches from the round below, pick up the yarn from the front and knit in the stitch loop that is on the back of the needle, knit 12-20-20 (the marker is in the middle of these stitches), use the left needle to pick up the yarn between 2 stitches from the round below, pick up the yarn from the back and knit in the stitch loop that is on the front of the needle (2 increased stitches). Work to marker at end of round.
FURTHER INCREASES
Increase every 2nd round as described above a total of 8-8-8 times, with 2 more knitted stitches mid-under the foot each time you increase = 76-80-84 stitches on the round and 30-38-38 knitted stitches under the foot (heel-stitches), including 2 knitted stitches on each side of the rib.
Work 1 round of rib and stocking stitch, finishing mid-under the foot. Insert 1 measuring-marker in the middle of the heel-stitches: It is important that this marker stays on this round, as it is used to measure the foot-length.
DECREASE 1:
You now decrease for the heel.
Next round: Work stocking stitch and rib until there are 13-17-17 stitches left before the marker, slip 1 stitch knit-wise, knit 1, pass the slipped stitch over the knitted stitch, knit 22-30-30 (the marker is in the middle of these stitches), knit 2 together (= 2 decreased stitches). Work to marker at end of round.
Next round: Continue the rib and stocking stitch, finishing 12-16-16 stitches before the marker. Decrease as described below.
DECREASE 2:
Slip 1 stitch knit-wise, knit 1, pass the slipped stitch over, knit 20-28-28 (the marker is in the middle of these stitches), knit 2 together (= 2 decreased stitches). Work to marker at end of round.
FURTHER DECREASES
Decrease every 2nd round as described above a total of 11-12-11 times, with 2 fewer knitted stitches mid-under the foot each time you decrease = 54-56-62 stitches. Continue with stocking stitch across the 8-14-16 stitches under the foot and rib across the other stitches.
FOOT
Work until the foot measures 15½-17-17½ cm from the marker on the heel, measured under the foot.
There is 4½-5-6 cm left to finished length. Try the sock on and work to desired length before decreasing for the toe as described below.
TOE
Knit 2 rounds. Insert 1 marker on each side of the sock, with 27-28-31 stitches both on top of and underneath the foot (2 markers). Continue with stocking stitch. AT THE SAME TIME, on the first round decrease for the toe on each side of both markers – read DECREASE TIP (4 decreased stitches). Decrease like this every 2nd round a total of 6-7-9 times, then every round 5-4-4 times = 10-12-10 stitches. Cut the strand, thread it through the remaining stitches, tighten and fasten well.
The foot measures approx. 20-22-23½ cm from the marker on the heel, measured under the foot. NOTE! The sock is shorter than the foot-length but will stretch when used.
