Cast on 72 sts for the cuff and divide the sts onto four needles, 18 sts on each. Start working in rib stitch in the round. The beginning of the round will be between the fourth and first needle.
When the rib measures 4 cm, start following the chart at row 1 in the following way: work 8 sts in moss st, work the 20 st pattern repeat twice, work the last 16 sts of the chart and work 8 sts in moss st. Keep repeating rows 1-24 of the chart.
When the cuff measures 12 cm, work in the following way:
Next round: Work 6 sts in pattern, work 2 sts together in pattern, work 56 sts following the chart, work 2 sts together in pattern and work in pattern to end.
Repeat these decreases every 3 cm for 7 times more. You have now 56 sts on the needles and the sts of the moss stitch section have been decreased.
When you have worked chart rows 1-24 for 4 times, divide the sts onto needles in the following way: 12 sts onto the first needle, 16 sts onto the second and third needle, and 12 sts onto the fourth needle.
Start working the heel flap by purling the sts on the first needle onto the fourth needle (= 24 sts) and leaving the rest of the sts on hold for a while. Turn work and start working a reinforced heel flap:
Row 1 (WS): Sl1 wyif, p to end. Turn work.
Row 2 (RS): *Sl1 wyib, k1*, repeat *-* to end. Turn work.
Repeat these 2 rows until you have worked them for 12 times (= 24 rows).
Next row: P to end.
Continue working in the reinforced stitch pattern and at the same time decrease for the heel turn:
Next alternate decrease row (RS): Sl1, work to last 9 sts, skp. Turn work.
Next alternate decrease row (WS): Sl1, p6, p2tog. Turn work.
Next alternate decrease row (RS): Sl1, work to last 8 sts, skp. Turn work.
Keep working these decreases on each side of the 8 centre sts until you have only the 8 centre sts left. Then, divide the heel flap sts onto two needles (4 sts on each).
Next, with the aid of the fifth needle pick up 12 sts along the left edge of the heel flap + 1 st between the heel flap and the second needle and knit them through back loop onto the left heel flap needle.
Then, work the sts on the second and third needle in the following way: k2tog, k2, skp, k2tog, work 16 sts following the cable chart, skp, k2tog, k2, k2tog (you have now 13 sts on both needles).
Next, pick up 1 st between the third needle and the heel flap + 12 sts along the right edge of the heel flap and knit them through back loop with the aid of the right heel flap needle. Knit the first 4 sts of the heel flap.
Next, work in st st in the round except for the cable panel follow rows 2-24 of the chart. At the same time, start decreasing for the gusset:
Decrease round: K to last 2 sts on the first needle, k2tog, work to the fourth needle, skp, k to end.
Repeat these decreases every other round until you have 11 sts on the first and fourth needle. Then, divide the sts so that you have 12 sts on each needle. When you have completed row 24 of the chart, start working in st st with all sts.
When the bottom measures 20 cm or the little toe is covered, start decreasing for the toe:
Row 1: First needle: K to last 3 sts, k2tog, k1; second needle: k1, skp, k to end; third needle: k to last 3 sts, k2tog, k1; fourth needle: k1, skp, k to end.
Row 2: K to end.
Repeat these 2 rows until you have 6 sts on each needle. After that, keep repeating only row 1 until you have 8 sts left. Cut yarn, thread through the stitches and pull tight. Weave in ends.
Make another sock to match.
