• "Picot": knit 2 together, 1 yarn over by turn;
• Relief rhombs pattern: follow the scheme with even rows made of knit stitches. Pattern = 16 rows in height.

Stitches Control

Stitches control of stockinette stitch: 30 stitches x 40 rows = 10 cm x 10 cm.

Instructions

Start making relief socks with the edge. Cast on 42 stitches, allocate them on knitting needles in the following way: 10, 11, 10, 11 stitches.

Knitting Process

• 1st and 2nd rows: stockinette stitch;
• 3rd row: "picot";
• 4th and 5th rows: stockinette stitch;
• From the 6th row: 1 x 1 rib.

Knit 3 cm in the last row on 11 stitches and decrease 1 stitch. Total, you should have 40 stitches.

Then, turn to the relief rhombs pattern. Knit 8 cm of the pattern, then turn to stockinette stitch. Continue using the classic scheme for sock knitting. After knitting 6 cm for the heel, start making the descent for the toe part.
