Ribbing in the round: *k2, p2*, repeat *–*.
Cable pattern: follow the chart and instructions.
Stockinette stitch in the round: knit all rows.
Gauge
17 sts in stockinette st = 10 cm / 4 in
Cast on 40 sts and divide them onto four double-pointed needles, 10 sts each. The beginning of round is between needles I and IV, at the back midpoint. Begin ribbing in the round: *k1, p2, k1*, repeat *–*. Work ribbing for 7 cm, then purl 1 round.
Begin the cable pattern on row 1 of the chart. Repeat the 20 st pattern two times. Work rows 2–6, then repeat rows 1–6 four times.
Now work without cable twists. Work 4 more rounds, then work next round until 10 sts remain on needle IV.
Begin heel flap: work the sts of needles IV and I onto the same needle: k3, p2, *k2, p2*, repeat *–* 2 more times, k3 = 20 sts. Leave the other sts on hold. Turn work. Work ribbing for 20 rows (approx. 8 cm) in total, finishing with a WS row.
Begin turning the heel: (RS) k3, p2, k2, p2, k2, p2, skp (slip 1 knitwise, k1, pass the slipped st over), turn work. WS: slip 1, k2, p2, k2, p2tog. Turn work. RS: slip 1, p2, k2, p2, skp. Continue in this manner, decreasing at the ends with 8 sts in the middle. When only the middle sts remain, divide the sts on two needles, 4 sts each. Knit the 4 sts on the right. The beginning of round is now here.
Using a free needle, pick up 10 sts from the left end of the heel flap + 1 st from between the flap and needle II. Knit the 4 heel flap sts and knit the picked-up sts through the back loop. On needles II and III, work ribbing: k3, p2, k4, p2, k4, p2, k3. Using the needle with 4 sts, pick up 10 sts from the right end + 1 st from between needle III and the heel flap. Knit the picked-up sts through the back loop and k4.
Work stockinette st on needles I and IV and ribbing on needles II and III and begin gusset decreases: at the end of needle I, k2tog; at the beginning of needle IV, skp. Repeat the decreases on every other round until 40 sts remain (10 sts on each needle).
When the sole measures 20 cm or when the sock covers the fifth toe, begin toe decreases: at the end of needles I and III, k2tog, k1; at the beginning of needles II and IV, k1, skp. Decrease as established on every other round until 6 sts remain on each needle. Then work the decreases on every round. When 8 sts remain, break yarn, pull it through the sts and securely weave in.
Knit the other sock in the same manner.
Finishing
Lightly steam the socks.
