Socks are knitted on two needles. They are very comfortable to wear and look beautiful on the leg. Cast on 30 stitches. Rows 1–6: knit all stitches. Rows 7–22: stockinette stitch (odd rows – knit, even rows – purl). Rows 23–41: knit the heel, for this knit 19 knit stitches, and knit stitches 20 and 21 together knitwise, turn the work. Knit 9 purl stitches, and knit stitches 10 and 11 together purlwise. Turn the work again, knit 9 knit stitches, knit stitches 10 and 11 together knitwise, and continue knitting, alternating rows 24 and 25 until there are 10 stitches left on the needle. Row 42: pick up 10 stitches from the braids on the side of the heel, turn the work. Row 43: knit 20 knit stitches and pick up another 10 stitches from the other side of the heel. = 30 stitches. Rows 44–64: knit in garter stitch, we start to shape the toe based on the principle of the heel: 11 stitches on the sides and 8 in the middle, now along the edge of the sock pick up stitches from the heel 20 stitches, middle of the toe 8 stitches and another 20 stitches to the heel = a total of 48 stitches along the edge, knit 4 rows in garter stitch then on the middle 8 knit a braid or any other pattern, i.e. we finish upwards on the middle 8 stitches and that’s it!
