Sample:
plain right:
in Rd.: only ri S
in R: RSR: ri S, BR: le S
plain left: in Rd.: only le S

Hole pattern: (Stitch number divisible by 11):
(see knitting chart)
only the 1st Rd is shown and then each following 2nd Rd., knt. the S in the Rd. in between as they appear, knit the yov ri.
Always rpt. the 1st - 24th Rd.

Stitch test (plain right): 30 S x 40 R = 10 cm x 10 cm

Instructions: see knitting chart for socks
Cast on 60 S and distribute evenly over 4 needles of the needle set (15 S per needle).
For the edge, knt. 3 Rd. le S, then another 1 Rd. ri S, knitting from each 10th S 1 S ri and 1 S ri interlaced. (= 66 S). Continue knt. in the hole pattern, knitting the repeating pattern a total of 6 x.
At a total height of approx. 15 - 16 cm, end with a 22nd pattern round. Then continue working as follows: 21 S plain right, 1 S plain left, 22 S hole pattern (= continue 3rd and 4th repeating pattern from the start of the round) 22 S plain right. In the 2nd Rd, knt. tog. the plain right knitted S 4 x 2 distributed evenly (= 62 S, 1st and 4th needle: 15 S, 2nd and 3rd needle: 16 S). After 4 Rd, knt. the heel in this arrangement with shortened rows over the S of the 1st and 4th needle (see socks' knitting instructions). Continue working in the Rd. With a 19 cm foot length (measured from the centre of the heel), end the sock plain right, knt. tog. in the 1st Rd. every 2nd S ri over both hole pattern repeating patterns. (= 60 M). After 4 Rd., knt. the collar tip plain right from the beginning. (see knitting chart for socks).
