then, following 9 heel stitches.
The stitches will now be distributed as follows:

left = 24 stitches.
– Needle 2: 14 stitches (top of the foot).
– Needle 3: 14 stitches (top of the foot).
– Needle 4: 15 stitches picked up along the right side + 9 heel stitches = 24
stitches.

Needle 1: Knit up to 3 stitches from the end, knit 2 stitches together, 1 stitch
place.
Needle 2 and 3: Knit all stitches.
Needle 4: Knit a stitch, 1 single overlock and finish the needle.
Knit a row of decreases and a knit row until there are 14 stitches on each
needle= 56 stitches. Continue on these 56 stitches until 15 cm from the line of the heel.
Then start the decreases for the tip of the foot as follows:
Row of decreases:
Needle 1: Knit up to 3 stitches from the end, knit 2 stitches together, 1 stitch
place.
