Knit around on double pointed needles. Cast on 50-56-60 sts and knit 1st row with knit sts, then knit 2-2-3 cm with rib 1 knit st/1 purl, then knit 1 row with knit sts, making the quantity of sts to 54-54-58. Then, the first 21-21-25 sts leave for the heel, and the rest 33 sts replace to the pin (=top of the foot). Knit 5-5.5-6 cm of stockinette st. as heel, place the marker in the middle and then you'll measure from this marker. Then, knit the heel as it is written above. Then cast on 13-14-15 sts from both sides of the heel and return 33 sts of the top from the pin = 72-74-78 sts. Place marker to the sole and pattern of 33 sts of the top. Make the decreases from both sides at the same time: 2 cross knit sts together before 33 top sts and 2 knit sts after 33 top sts. Repeat the decreases in a row 12-12-12 times = 48-50-54 sts. Knit to the foot length 18-19-22 cm (measure from the marker on the heel). Mark 1 st from both sides,leave 23-24-26 sts for the top and bottom of the sock. Then knit with stockinette st. through all the sts, making the toe of the sock narrower: 2 knit sts together before 2 sts before marker, 1 knit st, 2 knit sts together left. Make such decreases in a row, total 4-7-6 times and 6-4-6 times in each row = 8-6-6 sts. Cut the thread. Weave all the ends.
