SOCK:
Worked in the round on double pointed needles.
Cast on 96-96-104 sts on double pointed needles size 3.5 mm with Karisma. Work according to A.1. When A.1 has been worked, 48-48-52 sts remain on needle. Continue rib K 2/P 2 for 1 cm, on last round with rib inc 0-0-2 sts evenly = 48-48-54 sts. Then work pattern according to A.2. When A.2 has been worked, work 1 round while dec 4-0-2 sts evenly = 44-48-52 sts. Work 2 cm in stocking st, piece measures approx. 14 cm. Now keep the first 24-26-28 sts on needle for heel and slip the last 20-22-24 sts on a stitch holder (= mid on top of foot). Work in stocking st back and forth on heel sts for 5-5½-6 cm. Insert 1 marker. Then work HEEL DECREASE - see explanation above! After heel dec, knit up 11-12-13 sts along each side of heel and slip the 20-22-24 sts from stitch holder back on needle = 52-56-62 sts. Continue to work in stocking st in the round while AT THE SAME TIME dec in each side as follows: K tog the first 2 sts after the 20-22-24 sts on top of foot and K twisted tog the last 2 sts before the 20-22-24 sts on top foot (i.e. work in back loop of sts instead of front). Repeat dec every other round 3-3-4 more times (4-4-5 dec in total) = 44-48-52 sts. Continue until piece measures 18-20-22 cm from marker on heel (= approx. 4-4-5 cm remain).
Now insert 1 marker in each side so that there are 22-24-26 sts on top of foot and under foot. Continue in stocking st while AT THE SAME TIME dec for toes on each side of both markers as follows: 3 sts before marker: K 2 tog, K 2 (marker is between these 2 sts), K 2 twisted tog (i.e. work in back loop of sts instead of front). Dec every other round a total of 3-3-4 times and then every round 6-7-7 times in total = 8 sts remain on needle. Cut the thread and pull it through the remaining sts, tighten tog and fasten. Knit another sock.
