---------------------------------------------------------- EXPLANATION FOR THE PATTERN: ---------------------------------------------------------- CHAIN STITCH: If you work at the end of crochet hook the chain stitch will often be too tight. 1 chain stitch should be just as long as 1 double crochet/single crochet is wide. CROCHET INFORMATION: At the beginning of every row with single crochets work 1 chain stitch. This chain stitch replaces first single crochet. Finish round with 1 slip stitch in first chain stitch on round. At the beginning of every round with double crochets work 3 chain stitches. These chain stitches replace first double crochet. Finish round with 1 slip stitch in 3rd chain stitch at beginning of round. Turn heel every row with 1 chain stitch (this chain stitch does not replace first single crochet but is in addition). DECREASE TIP: Decrease 1 single crochet/double crochet as follows: Work 1 single crochet/double crochet but wait with last yarn over and pull through (= 2 loops on hook), then work next single crochet/double crochet but on last pull through, pull thread through all 3 loops on hook - 1 single crochet/ double crochet decreased. HEEL DECREASE: ROW 1 (right side): Work 21-22-24 single crochets, 7-8-8 single crochets now remain on row, decrease 1 single crochet - read DECREASE TIP = 22-23-25 single crochets. Turn piece. ROW 2 (wrong side): Work 15-15-17 single crochets, 7-8-8 single crochets now remain on row, decrease 1 single crochet = 16-16-18 single crochets. Turn piece. ROW 3 (right side): Work 15-15-17 single crochets. Decrease 1 single crochet, i.e. work last single crochet on row together with first single crochet on first row (the one with with 28-30-32 single crochets) = 16-16-18 single crochets. Turn piece. ROW 4 (wrong side): Work 15-15-17 single crochets. Decrease 1 single crochet, i.e. work last single crochet on row together with first single crochet on last row (the one with 21-22-24 single crochets) = 16-16-18 single crochets. Turn piece. ROW 5 (right side): Work 15-15-17 single crochets. Decrease 1 single crochet, i.e. work last single crochet on row together with first single crochet on first row = 16-16-18 single crochets. Turn piece. Repeat alternately 4th and 5th row 4 more times, then work 4th row one more time i.e. until all the 7-8-8 single crochet on each side of the 16-16-18 middle single crochet on heel have been worked together = 16-16-18 single crochets in total on row. Cut the yarn and pull strands through the last stitch on hook. PATTERN: See diagrams A.1 and A.2. ASSEMBLY TIP: Use a thin elastic sewing yarn that can be sewn around the leg or an elastic that can be basted through stitches around the leg. This will keep the shape better. ---------------------------------------------------------- START THE PIECE HERE: ---------------------------------------------------------- ANCLE SOCKS - SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE PIECE: Piece is worked in the round, from leg down to toe. Work a flounce on the leg at the end. SOCK: Work 75-80-85 CHAIN STITCHES - read explanation above, on hook size 2.5 MM = US c/2 with DROPS Fabel. Form a chain stitch ring by working 1 slip stitch in first chain stitch worked. ROUND 1: Read CROCHET INFO. Work 3 chain stitches (= 1 double crochet), 1 double crochet in each of the next 3 chain stitches, skip 1 chain stitch, * 1 double crochet in each of the 4 next chain stitches, skip 1 chain stitch *, work from *-* the entire round, and finish with 1 slip stitch in 3rd chain stitch at beginning of round = 60-64-68 double crochets. Work 5 rounds more rounds with 1 double crochet in every double crochet. Then work heel and foot as explained below. HEEL AND FOOT: Work 1 single crochet in each of the first 28-30-32 double crochets on round = 28-30-32 heel stitches. Now continue with single crochet back and forth over heel stitches until heel measures approx. 6-6-6½ cm = 2⅜"-2⅜"-2½". Insert 1 marker when working – measure piece from this marker later. Then decrease for heel - read HEEL DECREASE. After heel decreases work as follows: Begin mid under foot and fasten strand with 1 slip stitch in the middle of the 16-16-18 single crochets from heel. Work 1 double crochet in each of the 8-8-9 single crochets on heel, work 16-16-17 double crochets along the side of heel, 1 double crochet in each of the 32-34-36 double crochets on top of foot, 16-16-17 double crochets along the other side of heel, and 1 double crochet in each of the last 8-8-9 single crochets on heel = 80-82-88 double crochets on round. Insert 1 marker on each side of the 32-34-36 double crochets on top of foot. Then work in the round with double crochets - AT THE SAME TIME decrease 1 double crochet on each side of the 32-34-36 double crochets on top of foot - read DECREASE TIP, i.e. work the last 2 double crochet before first marker on top of foot together, and work the first 2 double crochets after last marker on top of foot together. Decrease like this every round 12-11-12 times in total = 56-60-64 double crochets. Work until piece measures 18-19-20 cm = 7"-7½"-8" from marker on heel – measured under foot. Approx. 4-5-6 cm = 1½"-2"-2⅜" remain until finished measurements, try the sock on and work to desired length before decreasing for toes as explained below. TOE: Work 1 round with 1 single crochet in every double crochet the entire round = 56-60-64 single crochets. Insert 1 marker in a single crochet in each side of sock so that there are 27-29-31 single crochets between stitches with markers both on top of foot and under foot. Then work in the round with single crochets - AT THE SAME TIME decrease 2 single crochets in each side as follows: Work until 1 single crochet remain before single crochet with marker, work 1 single crochet, but wait with last yarn over and pull through (= 2 loops on hook), then work single crochet with marker, but wait with last yarn over and pull through (= 3 loops on hook), work 1 single crochet in next single crochet, and pull last yarn over through all 4 loops on hook. 2 single crochets have been decreased - repeat at next marker. Decrease like this on every other round a total of 2-5-7 times in each side and then on every round 8-6-5 time times in each side = 16 single crochets. Place toe double and sew together opening mid front. Cut and fasten the yarn. The sock measures approx. 22-24-26 cm = 8¾"-9½"-10¼" from marker on heel – measured under foot. Work the other sock the same way. FLOUNCE: Begin mid back on leg with 1 slip stitch in first stitch on round, work A.1, then work A.2 around the leg. Continue like this until A.1 and A.2 have been worked vertically. Cut and fasten the yarn. ASSEMBLY: Sew or baste an elastic thread through stitches around the leg, in first round from beginning of leg. |
