Continue in this manner until all sts have been worked ending with a K row (14 sts). Divide these sts on 2 needles. NEXT ROUND: 1st needle: With 7 sts on needle, pick up and K 10 sts on side of heel, K 3 sts of instep on same needle; 2nd needle: continue with 4th pattern row over 18 sts of instep; 3rd needle: K 3 sts, pick up and K 10 sts on side of heel, K across remaining 7 sts.

NEXT ROUND: K even. Repeat these 2 rounds until 18 sts remain, K next 5 sts, cut yarn leaving a 12 inch length; sl sts evenly to 2 needles. Weave these sts tog as follows: * pass needle through first st of front needle as if knitting and slip st off needle, pass into 2nd st as if purling and leave st on needle, pass through first st of back needle as if purling and slip st off needle, pass through 2nd st of back needle as if knitting and leave st on needle, repeat from * until all sts are worked off.
