Step by Step Instructions

Step 1

Keep in mind that 10 sc + 10 rounds = approximately 10 cm. Make sure your tension is correct.

Step 2

Stitch explanation: I will use sc2tog (decrease 2 sc together): Insert the hook into the next stitch and pull up a loop twice, yarn over and pull through all 3 loops on the hook — this decreases 1 stitch.

Step 3

Notes: The sock is worked in a spiral from the toes to the heel. Then the heel is worked back and forth in rows over only a portion of the stitches. When the heel is complete, the leg and cuff are worked in rounds. Do not join the last stitch of each round with a slip stitch to the first stitch and do not turn at the start of rounds.

Step 4

To change yarn color, work the last stitch of the old color up to the final yarn over. Yarn over with the new color and pull through all loops on the hook to complete the stitch. Continue with the new color and cut the old one.

Step 5

The hanging loop is worked separately and sewn to the top right of the sock.

Step 6

We begin at the toes: Wrap the cream-colored yarn around your index finger. Insert the hook into the ring on your finger, grab the yarn and pull up a loop. Carefully remove the ring from your finger and work the stitches of V1 into the ring.

Step 7

V1 (right side): Ch 1, 6 sc in the ring; do not join, work in continuous rounds (spiral).

Step 8

Place a marker in the last stitch made to indicate the end of the round. Move the marker up as each round is completed.

Step 9

V2: Work 2 sc in each stitch around — you will have 12 sc in this round.

Step 10

V3: * sc in the next stitch, 2 sc in the next stitch; repeat from * around — 18 sc.

Step 11

V4: * sc in the next 2 stitches, 2 sc in the next stitch; repeat from * around — 24 sc.

Step 12

V5: * sc in the next 3 stitches, 2 sc in the next stitch; repeat from * around — 30 sc.

Step 13

V6-7: sc in each stitch around; change to cream color in the last stitch of round 7.

Step 14

Now work the foot in red only. V1: Sc in each stitch around.

Step 15

V1: Sc in each stitch around.

Step 16

V2: Working in back loops only, hdc in each stitch around.

Step 17

V3: Working in back loops only, sc in each stitch around.

Step 18

V4-5: Repeat rounds 2 and 3; change to cream in the last stitch of V5. Remove the end-of-round marker.

Step 19

For the heel, work back and forth in rows, in red only.

Step 20

Row 1 (right side): Sc in the next 2 sts, hdc in the next 2 sts, dc in the next 4 sts, hdc in the next 2 sts, sc in the next 2 sts; leave the remaining 18 sts unworked (total 12 sts).

Step 21

Row 2: Ch 1, turn, sc2tog, hdc in the next 2 sts, dc in the next 4 sts, hdc in the next 2 sts, sc2tog (total 10 sts).

Step 22

Row 3: Ch 1, turn, sc2tog, hdc in the next st, dc in the next 4 sts, hdc in the next st, sc2tog (total 8 sts).

Step 23

For the leg, from the right side pull up a loop of cream yarn in the 5th stitch of Heel Row 3. Work the leg with cream only.

Step 24

V1 (right side): Ch 1, sc in the same joining stitch, sc in the last 3 sts of Heel Row 3, sc in the end of Heel Row 2 and end of Heel Row 1;

Step 25

Skip the next unworked stitch of Round 12 of the foot, sc in the next 16 unworked sts of Round 12 of the foot, skip the next unworked stitch;

Step 26

Sc in the end of Heel Row 1 and end of Heel Row 2, sc in the first 4 sts of Heel Row 3; work in continuous rounds (spiral) (total 28 sts).

Step 27

V2: Working in back loops only, hdc in each stitch around.

Step 28

V3: Working in back loops only, sc in each stitch around.

Step 29

V4-13: Repeat Rounds 2 and 3 five more times; change to red in the last stitch of V13.

Step 30

We begin with the cuff. Work only with red yarn.

Step 31

R1: * Sc in the next 5 stitches, 2 sc in the next stitch; repeat from * around (total 32 sc).

Step 32

R2: Working in front loops only, sc in each stitch around.

Step 33

R3-6: Sc in each stitch around. Fasten off.

Step 34

We will make the hanging loop in red. Ch 13.

Step 35

R1: Slip stitch in the 2nd chain from the hook and in each chain across (total 12 sl st). Fasten off, leaving a long tail for sewing.

Step 36

Fold the loop in half and use the yarn tail to sew the loop ends inside the cuff. Weave in the ends.
