Needles and other supplies
Double-pointed needles Novita 3 mm (UK 11 / US 2½) or size needed to obtain gauge.
Stitch patterns Ribbing in the round: *p1, k2, p2, k2*
Cast on 77 sts and divide them onto four needles: 21, 21, 21 and 14 sts. The beginning of round is between needles I and IV. Begin ribbing in the round: *p1, k2, p2, k2*, repeat *-* 10 more times. Work ribbing for 4 cm.
Begin the cable pattern on row 1 of the chart. Repeat the 7 st pattern 11 times. Work rows 2-4 of the chart, then work rows 5-12 three times.
Work rows 13-26.
Keep repeating rows 27-28 until the leg measures approx. 22 cm. Redistribute the sts: 21, 18, 18 and 20 sts.
Begin heel flap: work the sts on needle I onto needle IV as required to maintain pattern = 41 sts. Leave the other sts on hold. Turn work. Purl the WS row, evenly decreasing 9 sts = 32 sts.
Reinforced stitch pattern:
Row 1: (RS) *slip 1 with yarn in back, k1*, repeat *-* to end.
Row 2: (WS) slip 1 with yarn in back, purl to end. Turn work.
Work rows 1-2 a total of 15 times (= 30 rows).
Begin turning the heel. Continue the reinforced pattern as established. Work the RS row until 11 sts remain. Skp (= slip 1 knitwise, k1, pass slipped st over), turn work. Slip 1, p10, p2tog, turn work. Slip 1, work to last 10 sts, skp. Continue in this manner, decreasing at the ends with 12 sts in the middle. When only the middle sts remain, divide the sts onto two needles, 6 sts each. Knit the 6 right-hand sts. The beginning of round is now here.
Using a free needle pick up 15 sts from the left end of the heel flap + 1 st from between the flap and needle II. Knit the 6 heel flap sts and knit the picked-up sts through the back loop. On needles II and III, keep repeating rows 27-28 of the cable chart (there are 10 cables in the instep). Using the needle with 6 sts pick up 15 sts from the right end of the flap + 1 st from between needle III and the heel flap. Knit the picked-up sts through the back loop and knit the 6 flap sts.
With these 80 sts work stockinette st 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 15 sts remain on needles I and IV. 66 sts now on the needles.
Work as established until the sole measures 22 cm or until the sock covers the fifth toe.
Keep working the cable pattern in the instep and 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 8 sts remain on needles I and IV. Then work the decreases on every round. When 10 sts remain, break yarn, pull it through the sts and securely weave in.
Finishing
Steam the socks lightly.
