Socks (both alike)
Work 10ch = foundation chain. 1dc in 2nd ch from hook and then 8dc across to end. 3dc in last ch, 8dc across the other side of the foundation chain, 2dc in last ch (= in the same ch as the first dc of the round) = 22 dc. Place a stitch marker onto the dc in the middle of the 3 double crochet stitches at each end of the chain.
Work in a continuous spiral without joining the beginning and end of each round. Work in the following way: 1dc in each stitch and 1 increase on each side of the stitch with a marker. Increase: 2dc in next st. Four sts will be increased on each round. Work in this way until you have 42 dc. Next, join round by working ss in next dc.
Start following the Diagram I at row 1. 1ch and 1dc in the same st as the ss. 4dc, *2ch, miss 2 dc and 5dc*, repeat *-* 4 more times. 1ch and 1htr in first dc of the round. 6 pattern repeats worked.
Continue following the diagram until you have worked rows 2 - 7 for a total of 3 times. The beginning of the round will move to the right to one side of the sock.
When you have worked the diagram for 3 times, the piece measures about 16 cm. Next, work a space for the heel. You have just worked row 7 and joined the round with a half treble. Working loosely, 26ch. Miss 3 pattern repeats and then 1dc in ch sp of 2 ch on the other side of the sock. Work row 2. 4ch, 1tr, 1ch in same ch sp. Work across to heel space and then (1ch, 1tr, 1ch, 1tr, 1ch) in ch sp of 2 ch. Next, work as shown in Diagram II across the ch sp of 26 ch and join the round with a ss in 3rd st of the next round. 1 pattern repeat increased = 7 pattern repeats.
Keep working as shown before until the leg measures about 15 cm and you have just worked either row 3 or row 6. Then, dc round the edge. Cut yarn.
Afterthought heel
Attach yarn with a 1dc at one end of the heel space. 1dc in each st round the space = 48 dc. Place a stitch marker onto one stitch at each side of the heel space so that there are 22 sts between the markers towards the bottom. Work in a spiral and decrease 1 st on each side of the marked stitch on every following round. Decrease = dc2tog. Continue working these decreases on every round until there is only a tiny gap left. Cut yarn and thread through sts. Pull tight and weave in ends.
Make another sock to match.
Finishing
Steam block gently.
