Cast on 32/40 stitches and divide evenly on 4 needles, knit in ribbing pattern for 3 inches.
the instep is knitted back and forth on the 2& 3 needle only.
Right side row: p5/7, k6/6m p5/7
wrong side row: knit the knits, purl the purls
In the 6th/8th row (RS) p5/7, c6b, p5/7 then continue in Pattern. 12/14 row repeat cable, knit until you have 18/20 rows.
Then pick up 8/10 stitches on each the side to work in the round again. Distribute the stitches evenly as follows: side needles: 14/16 stitches each. Heel & toe side 10/14 needles for each needle.
Knit in the round for 8 rows.
For the heel start on the right side on the toe part, knit back and forth until the last stitch, then knit this stitch together with the first stitch from the side needle. (K2tog front & side)Once all side stitches are knitted and the sole of the shoe is done, knit the remaining stitches of the sole and the heel together.
Weave in ends.
For the left shoe knit the Cable as C6F.
Second translate:
CO 32 sts
Join in the round and knit K1, P1 rib for 7cm
Using 2 needles, place 16 stitches each
For one needle of 16 sts: CABLE PATTERN
Slip first st of each row for an easier edge to pick up sts later
Row 1, 3, 5: K5, P6, K5
Row 2, 4: P5, K6, P5
Row 6: P5, C6F or C6B (do opposite for each bootie), P5
Row 7, 9, 11: K5, P6, K5
Row 8, 10: P5, K6, P5
Row 12: Repeat Row 6
Row 13, 15, 17: K5, P6, K5
Row 14, 16, 18: P5, K6, P5
Now create the sides with two new needles:
For each side, pick up 8 sts from the cable pattern (have read in notes from others this looks better if done from the top of the loop) and pull 3 sts from the toe and heel needles for a total of 14.
All sts should now be distributed over 4 needles
Sides: 14 sts
Heel: 10 sts
Toe: 10 sts
Work in stockinette for 8 rounds
For the sole - begin at the right edge of the toe.
Knit across, at the end of the row transfer a stitch from the side needle and k2tog the last toe stitch with the side needle stitch. Repeat until all stitches are gone from side needles (28 rows of garter stitch)
When the heel and toe needles meet, there should be 10 stitches on each needle. Use kitchener stitch to bind off.
