Instructions

Cast on 64 sts and turn to the circle knitting, dividing the sts to 4 knitting needles (16 sts for each needle). Knit 4 cm with rib and turn to relief pattern.

After 33 cm, start making heel. Make this, as classic heel for the beginners socks. Work with half sts (32 sts), i.e., with 2knitting needles. Make stockinette stitch on straight and reversed rows for 20 rows.

Divide all the sts (32 sts) for rounding heel into 3 parts: 11 sts + 10 sts + 11 sts = 32 sts. Continue with central 19 sts, catching 1 st from edges in each row.

Knit these sts with edging sts of central part as 1 knit st. So, you should have 10 sts of central part left.

Lift 10 sts from each side from selvedge sts along the sides of heel. Include previously left sts in work and turn to circle knitting. Knit the bottom part of your work with stockintte stitch and upper part - with relief pattern.

After knitting to the little toe height, make decreases for toe: knit 2 edging sts together from both sides.

In the beginning of row, knit2tog, in the end of row - broaching: slip 1 st as knit st, 1 knit st, draw it through the slipped st. Decrease 4 sts in 1 row in such a way.

When there are 2 sts left on each knitting needle, cut the yarn and weave the end.
