eel next to needle just
finished, knitting each as you pick it up; knit the 30 left on the
needle for front of foot, and pick up 17 down other side of heel; then
knit on with these half the stitches left at top of heel.

Knit 1 round plain; narrow the 2d round as follows: On 1st side needle
knit to within 3 of end, narrow, knit 1; knit across front needle; on
side needle knit 1, slip 1, knit 1, pass slipped stitch over, and knit
to end. Decrease in this manner every 2d round until there are 15
stitches on each side needle, reducing them to correspond with the front
needle, and making 10 narrowings for the instep.

Knit five inches without narrowing, then decrease for the toe in the
following manner: Knit to within 3 of end of 1st side needle, narrow,
knit 1; on front needle, knit 1, slip and bind as before, knit to within
3 of the end, narrow, knit 1; on other side needle, knit 1, slip and
bind, knit plain to the end. Knit 2 rounds plain, and repeat last 3
rounds three times more; then decrease with 1 row plain between three
times, and after that decrease every row until there are but 4 stitches
on the front needle. Finish off neatly, drawing the toe together and
darning in with a worsted-needle.
