Using the Linen yarn, cast on 68 sts and distribute them onto four needles, 17 sts each. The beginning of the round is between needles I and IV. Work 12 rounds of ribbing. Then work 2 rounds of stockinette st.

Begin the colourwork pattern on row 1 of the chart. Work the 4 st pattern repeat 17 times. Work rows 2-5 of the chart.

Work row 6 and decrease 1 st on needles I and IV = 66 sts.

Work rows 7-17.

Work rows 33-45. The leg now measures approx. 19 cm.

Begin the heel flap: move the sts on needle I onto needle IV = 32 sts. Leave the other sts on hold. Turn work and begin the reinforced st pattern using Saffron:

Row 1: slip 1 st, purl to end of row. Turn work.

Row 2: *slip 1 st, k1*, repeat *-* 15 more times. Turn work. Repeat rows 1-2 a total of 14 times (= 28 rows).

Work another WS row and begin turning the heel. Continue the reinforced st pattern as established. Work the RS row on the heel flap until 12 sts remain at the left end. Work the skp decrease (= slip 1 st knitwise, k1, pass the slipped st over) and turn work. Slip 1 st, p8, p2tog. Turn work. Slip 1 st, work until 11 sts remain, skp. Continue in the same manner, decreasing sts at the sides with 10 sts in the middle. When only the middle sts remain, distribute the heel flap sts onto two needles, 5 sts each.

Pick up onto needle I 14 sts from the left edge of the heel flap + 1 st from between the needles. Work row 46: using Linen, knit the 5 heel flap sts and knit the picked-up sts through the back loop.
