Cuff
Cast on 68 stitches (sts). Distribute as necessary
for needle technique used and join to knit in the
round, being careful not to twist sts.
Work 2x2 ribbing [k2, p2] for 18 rounds (1.5").
Leg
Knit 76 rounds (~6.33" - total length from cast-on
to this point = 7.83").
Heel Flap
Work 34 sts for heel flap as follows, reserving
remaining 34 sts for sock instep.
Row 1 (RS): *slip 1 purlwise, k1;
repeat from * across.
Row 2 (WS): slip 1 purlwise; purl
across.
Repeat these two rows 15 times then Row 1 once.
Turn Heel
Row 1 (WS): p19, p2tog, p1, turn.
Row 2 (RS): sl1, k5, ssk, k1,
turn.
Row 3: sl1, p6, p2tog, p1, turn.
Row 4: sl1, k7, k2tog, k1, turn.
Row 5: sl1, p8, p2tog, p1, turn.
Row 6: sl1, k9, k2tog, k1, turn.
Continue in this manner until all heel sts have
been worked as above, ending with a RS row.
Gusset
With RS facing, starting right after turned heel
sts, pick up 17 sts along left side of heel flap
through slipped sts, knit 1 st from reserved
instep sts, place marker; then knit across 32
instep sts, place marker, knit last instep st,
then pick up 17 sts along other side of heel flap
and knit half of the heel sts. Distribute
remaining sts so the beginning of round is now at
center back heel.
Decrease for gusset as follows:
Round 1: knit to 2 sts before
marker, k2tog, slip marker; knit 32 instep sts,
slip marker; ssk, k to end.
Round 2: knit.
Repeat Rounds 1 & 2 until 68 sts remain.
Foot
Knit 72 rows total counted from gusset pick-up row
or 7.5", measured from center point of back of
heel. (You can adjust your sock here so it
measures 2" less than the desired finished foot
length you need.)
Toe Shaping
Distribute sts so 34 instep sts are on
first needle and remaining 34 sts for foot are on
needle(s) as necessary, placing a hanging-type
marker at beginning of round and after 34 instep
sts. (Right edge of instep becomes beginning of
round - knit to to this point if necessary,
depending on needle technique used.)
Next Round – DEC Round: *k1,
ssk, k to 3 sts before marker, k2tog, k1; rep from
* once.
Rep DEC round every 3rd round, 3 times
then every other round, 4 times
then every round, 3 times.
Graft remaining stitches to close toe.
Weave in all ends.
