You'll Need:
DROPS FABEL from Garnstudio
100 g for all sizes in color no 100, off white
DROPS CROCHET HOOK size 2 mm / B/1 - or size needed to achieve a gauge of 28 dc in width x 16 dc vertically and 28 sc in width x 35 sc vertically = 10 x 10 cm / 4'' x 4''.
Pattern:
See diagram A.1.
Decrease Tip:
Dec 1 st as follows – begin 2 sts before marker:
Work 1 sc/dc but wait with last pull through (= 2 sts on hook), then work next sc/dc but on last pull through, pull thread through all sts on hook = 1 st decreased.
Crochet Tip:
Begin every round on leg with ch 3; these are not counted and do not replace the first dc in diagram. On foot, replace the first dc of the round with 3 ch. Finish every round with 1 sl st in 3rd ch from beginning of the round. Turn every row on heel with 1 ch.
Heel Decrease:
Row 1 (= RS): Work 19-22-22 sc, 8-9-9 sc remain on row, decrease 1 sc - SEE DECREASE TIP = 20-23-23 sc. Turn the piece.
Row 2 (= WS): Work 12-14-14 sc, 8-9-9 sc remain on row, decrease 1 sc = 13-15-15 sc, turn the piece.
Row 3: Work 12-14-14 sc, decrease 1 sc, turn the piece.
Repeat row 3 a total of 12-14-14 times, so all sts on each side of the middle 13-15-15 sc on heel have been decreased.
Right Sock:
Worked in the round.
Ch 80-85-90 on hook size 2 mm / B/1 with off white and form 1 ring with 1 sl st in the first ch.
Round 1: ch 3, then work 1 dc in each of the next ch 3, skip ch 1, * work 1 dc in each of the next ch 4, skip 1 ch *, repeat from *-*, finish with 1 sl st in the 3rd ch from the beginning of the round = 64-68-72 dc.
Continue with A.1 - see explanation above. REMEMBER THE CROCHET GAUGE!
Continue with A.1 until the piece measures 12 cm / 4¾''.
Now continue to work the heel with sc back and forth over the first 27-31-31 dc/ch on round.
Continue with 1 sc in every sc until approximately 5-5½-6 cm / 2"-2 1/4"-2½" have been worked over heel sts. Insert 1 marker – NOW MEASURE PIECE FROM HERE.
Then decrease for heel - see Heel Decrease!
After heel decreases, work as follows: 1 dc in each of the 13-15-15 sc on heel, 14-15-16 dc along the edge on heel, 1 dc in each of the 37-37-41 dc/ch on top of foot, and 14-15-16 dc along the edge on the other side of heel = 78-82-88 dc on round.
Insert 1 marker on each side of the middle 33-37-37 dc on top of foot.
Then work in the round with dc under foot and A.1 over the 33-37-37 dc on top of foot while simultaneously decreasing 1 dc on each side of the 33-33-37 sts on top of foot – SEE DECREASE TIP. Repeat decrease on every round 11-11-12 more times (12-12-13 directly in total) = 54-58-62 dc.
Continue until the piece measures 19-21-23 cm / 7½"-8 1/4"-9" from the marker on heel (= approximately 3-3-4 cm / 1"-1"-1½" remain).
Insert 1 marker in each side so that there are 27-29-31 dc both on top of foot and under foot.
Finish as follows:
1 round with 1 sc in every dc, then work 1 sc in every sc while AT THE SAME TIME decreasing 1 sc on each side of every marker – SEE DECREASE TIP. Repeat decrease on every round 9-10-11 more times (10-11-12 decreases in total) = 14 sc remain.
On the next round, work all sc together 2 by 2.
Cut the yarn and sew it through the remaining sc, tighten together and fasten.
Left Sock:
Work as the right sock but when working the heel, work over the last 27-31-31 dc/ch on round.
Crochet Edge:
Crochet an edge around the edge of the sock on hook size 2 mm / B/1 with Fabel as follows:
Work 1 sc in the first dc, * skip approximately 1 cm / ½'', work 3 dc + 2 ch + 3 dc in the next dc, skip approximately 1 cm / ½'', work 1 sc in the next dc *, repeat from *-* the entire round, finish with 1 sl st in the first sc.
Work a similar edge down the leg on the side of the sock, from the opening at the top down to where heel begins.
Work the same way on the other sock but on the opposite side.
Crochet Flower:
Crochet 4 ch on hook size 2 mm / B/1 with Fabel and form a ring with 1 sl st in 1st ch.
Round 1: Work 6 sc in ch-ring, finish with 1 sl st in the first sc.
Round 2: ch 1, 1 sc in first sc, * work 3 dc + 2 ch+ 3 dc in the next sc, 1 sc in the next sc *, repeat from *-* 2 times in total and finish with 3 dc + 2 ch + 3 dc in the last sc and 1 sl st in the first sc = 3 leaves.
Crochet 2 flowers, fasten one flower on each sock where the crochet edge on leg ends.
