6 oz. 3-Ply Yarn
4 No. 11 Knitting Needles
Cast on 60 stitches, 20 stitches on each of 3 needles. Knit 2, purl 2,
for 32 rounds. Knit plain for 11 inches.
_The Heel_—Put 30 stitches on the first needle, then equally divide the
remaining stitches (required for the instep), on the second and third
needles, to be left until the heel is finished.
On the 30 stitches knit alternately plain and purl 30 rows, always
slipping the first stitch.
To turn the heel, knit 18, slip 1, knit 1, pass the slipped stitch over
the knitted, turn, purl 8, purl 2 together, turn, knit 8, slip 1, knit
1, pass the slipped stitch over. Continue working in this manner until
all the stitches are worked in, having the nine stitches on the needle
under the heel, knit the two center stitches together.
_The Instep_—Knit across the first needle, and pick up 15 stitches on
the side of the heel; knit on to the second needle the 30 stitches which
were left for the instep; and with the third needle pick up the 15
stitches on the other side of the heel, and knit off 4 stitches from the
first needle.
Knit 2 rounds plain.
To decrease knit the 3rd and 4th stitches together from the end of the
first needle, knit across the second needle, and on the third needle,
knit 2, slip 1, knit 1, pass the slipped stitch over. Do this in every
third round until there are 15 stitches on each of the first and third
needles.
Knit plain until the work measures 7 inches from the heel.
_For the Toe_—* Knit to within the last 3 stitches on the first needle,
knit 2 together, knit 1: on the instep needle, knit 1, slip 1, knit 1,
pass the slipped stitch over, knit to the last 3 stitches, knit 2
together, knit 1; on the third needle, knit 1, slip 1, knit 1, pass the
slipped stitch over, knit to the end of the needle. Knit 1 round plain.
Repeat from * until the stitches are reduced to 24.
Divide the instep and foot stitches equally on to 2 needles. Turn the
sock inside out and cast off the 2 needles together.
