needed.
Materials: One skein each (220-yd) red, white and blue.
One set each size 4 and 6 (3.5 and 4 mm) double-pointed needles,
or size to obtain correct gauge.
Gauge: In Stockinette stitch, 5 sts = 1"

evenly on smaller needles and place a yarn marker at the beginning
of round. Work around in k1, k1 rib for 1".
Leg: Change to larger needles, then knit around with blue,
inc 2 sts in round - 54 sts. Divide sts by putting 18 sts on each
needle. Continue knitting every round following Star Chart from
round 1 to 24. Next round, knit with red dec 3 sts evenly around-51
sts remain. Knit 3 more rounds red. Next round, knit with white
dec 2 sts evenly around-49 sts remain. Work 3 more rounds white.
Work for 4 more rounds red, and 4 more rounds white (stripe pattern).
Divide sts as follows for heel: place first 12 sts and last 11 sts
on one needle for heel, place remaining 26 sts on holder for instep.
Heel: Working on these 23 sts only, with red, work as follows:
Row 1 (wrong side): Slip first st, purl across.
Row 2: Slip first st, knit across.
Repeat these 2 rows until you have worked 18 rows. Place marker
on this row.
Turn heel as follows: With wrong side facing, slip 1, p 13,
p 2 tog, p 1, turn work; slip 1, k 6, k2 tog left, k 1, turn; slip
1, p 7, p 2 tog, p 1, turn; slip 1, k 8 sts, k2 tog left, k 1, turn;
slip 1, p 9, p 2 tog, p 1, turn. Continue in this manner, working
toward sides of heel and having 1 st more between the decreases
on each row until 15 sts remain.
Gusset and Foot: With right side facing and red, start at
the center of the 15 heel sts and knit across last 7 sts from heel,
pick up and knit 10 sts on side of heel, work across 26 sts from
instep holder, pick up and k 10 sts on side of heel, and work across
8 remaining sts from heel. Place yarn marker at beginning of row
- you should have 17 sts on first needle, 26 sts on second needle,
and 18 sts on third needle (61 sts total). Knit 1 round red.
Decrease Round: Knit with red to within last 3 sts on first needle,
k2 tog, k 1; k across sts on second needle; on third needle, k 1,
k2 tog left, k to end of row. While keeping stripe pattern as established,
repeat these last 2 rounds 5 more times - 49 sts remain. Work even
until foot length is 7" to 9" from heel marker, as desired.
Place 12 sts on first and third needles, 25 sts on second needle.
