FOR SIZE 42,43 (9,10)
Rnd10: ch2 to count as 1
st
hdc, hdc into next 9 sts, 2hdc+hdc+2hdc into next 3 sts, hdc into next 19 sts,
2hdc+hdc+2hdc into next 3 sts, hdc into last 9 sts = 48 sts.

FOR SIZE 43 (10)
Rnd11: ch2 to count as 1
st
hdc, hdc into next 10 sts, 2hdc+hdc+2hdc into next 3 sts, hdc into next 21 sts,
2hdc+hdc+2hdc into next 3 sts, hdc into last 10 sts = 52 sts.
Join yarn (B) and work hdc changing colors every 2 rnds. In 1
st
light rnd increase once into right central &
left central stitches 2hdc = 46 [50, 54] sts.
Rnd10-29 [11-30, 12-31]: ch2 to count as 1
st
hdc, hdc into each st around = 46 [50, 54] sts.


To form a heel divide all sts on half and work only on 23 [25, 27] sts of feet. Using sl st go back from seam
on 11 [12, 13] sts.


The heel is a triangle. Continue to work hdc. Make a triangle decreasing in each row on both sides one stitch
(two hdc together), until you will have only one stitch on the hook. Yarn (A).


Now we will crochet a wedge lift and the back of heel together. For this make on the each edge of a triangle
20 [21, 22] sts and on the front side, which we did not touch, should be 27 [28, 29] sts = (I've made it in
natural color) = 67 [70, 73] sts.


Note, the triangle is the bottom of the heel, but not all of the heel.
Continue work hdc. To form a wedge lift decreasing on both sides from the top of the sock = 3hdc together.
Decrease until reach 44 [46, 48]sts in rnd, then continue work hdc without decreasing. Totally 10 rnds.


Now the band. Please follow the diagram.


FOR ALL SIZES
Rnd1: 2ch, *fpdc around next st, dc in next st* rep from * to * around to end. Join with sl st = 44 [46, 48]
sts.
Rnd2-17: 2ch, *fpdc around fpdc, dc in next dc* rep from * to * around to end. Join with sl st = 44 [46, 48]
sts.
Fasten off. Sock is ready! The second sock make same.
