Notes

Full disclosure, I do not read German. I’m using Twisted-Stich Knitting, the translation of the original books by Maria Erlbacher (http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/sources/twisted-stitch-kn...).

I’m making normal socks for an adult woman, so I combined the 7 motifs for the ankle (not part of the calf gusset) plus 3 motifs from the calf gusset (# 65 on either side of # 121). In between the motifs, I did motif # 2 rather than # 55, and the patterned area was a total of 100 stitches.

Cast on 80 stitches and did k1b, p1 ribbing for 14 rows.

Set up row for patterned portion:
LT, (k1b, p1) 4 times, M1k, k1b, M1p, p1, M1p, LT,k1b, M1p, p1, M1p, LT (k1b, p1) 4 times, k1b, M1k, p1, (k1b, p1) twice, M1p, LT, k1b, p1, k1b, M1k, (k1b) 4 times, p1, k1b, M1k, p1, M1k, k1b, M1p, p1, k1b, p1, k1b, M1k, p1, M1p, p1, M1p, p1, k1b, RT, M1p, p1, M1p, LT, (k1b, p1) twice, LT, k1b, p1, k1b, M1k, p1, k1b, M1k, (k1b) 4 times, p1, k1b, M1k, p1, M1p, LT, LT (100 stitches)

In between each motif is (p1, motif # 2, p1).
Start pattern with p1, motif # 2, p1, then:

65

121

160

159 (slightly altered in the pattern from the motif in the main portion of the book)

105 (also slightly altered)

Heel:
Leg is 7.75 inches. On a row 12, stopped 9 stitches before end of row and started set-up row on next 50 stitches.

Set up row:
k2tog, (p1, k1b) twice, p3tog, ssk, (p1, k1b) 3 times, p1, k2tog, p1, k1b, p2tog, k2tog, p2tog, k1b, p1, k2tog, (p1, k1b) 3 times, p1, k2tog, p3tog, (k1b, p1) twice, k2tog. (37 stitches)
Next row: slip 1, purl across.

Heel:
row 1: (slip 1, k1b) across.
row 2: slip 1, purl across.

Repeat 2 rows 18 more times.

Decreased until sole was 34 stitches, 84 total stitches for foot. Continued until foot was 6.5 inches, ending after row 7 of motif # 123.

Set-up row:
K2tog, knit 5, RC, LC, k1, LC, k2tog, k2tog, ssk, k1, RC, RC, LC, LC, k1, k2tog, ssk, k1, ssk, RC, k1, RC, LC, knit 5, ssk (total stitches on needles is 76).
