Gusset Increases
8 sts are added make room
for the instep. If you have a high instep, you may want
to add more sts. Adjust the afterthought heel and foot
accordingly. Stitches are added by working the Leg Pattern
without decreases.

Heel Prep:
Using waste yarn, k 35[39,

Go back to the beginning
of the round and continue working with the project yarn. The
waste yarn will be picked out later to work the heel.
Instep and Gusset Decreases
Round 1: Using
project yarn, k 35[39,
43], work rem sts as
per round 1 of Chart
B.
Rounds 2-8: K35[39,
43], work rem sts as
per the next round of
Chart B.
Round 9: K2tog,
k 31[35, 39], SSK, work
rem sts as per the next
round of Chart B. 70[78,
86] sts.

Rounds 14-16: K31[35,
39], work rem sts as
per the next round of
Chart B.
64[72, 80] sts rem after
completing round 16.
You can work the heel now or continue working the foot
and work the heel later. The heel needs to be finished in
order to determine when to start the toe.
Heel
The rib pattern will continue
down the back of the heel and the bottom of the heel/sole
will be worked in st st.
If you have second set of needles that are the same size
as your project needles, use them for the heel. If not,
transfer all of the live sts and the beg of rnd marker onto
waste yarn.
Pick out the heel prep waste yarn one st at a time and
put the live heel sts onto
project needles. You should
capture 70[78, 86] sts -- 35[39, 43] from the upper loops
exposed by the removal of the waste yarn and 35[39, 43]
from the lower loops. Pick up 2 additional sts in each ‘corner’.
74[82, 90] sts total.
Hold the sock with the [p1, k3] rib facing and the needles
in a ready-to-knit position.
Small & Large sizes: The first st of the heel round
will be 2 sts before the first purl st.
Place marker for beg of rnd.
Medium size: The first st of the heel round will be 4 sts before the
purl st. Place marker for beg of rnd.
All sizes:
Join project yarn. To avoid
cutting the project yarn, work the heel from a different
ball of project yarn or from the other end of the current
ball of yarn.
Setup round: P1, k1[3, 1], (p1, k3) 8[9, 10] times,
p1[0, 1], k1[0, 1], pm, p1, k2tog, k33[37, 41], SSK. 72[80,
88] sts.
Rounds 1, 3, 5, and 7: Work even — knit
the knit sts and purl the purl
sts.
Round 2: P1,
ssptbl[k2tog, ssptbl],
work even until 2 sts
before stitch marker,
p2tog[SSK, p2tog], p1,
k2tog, k until 2 sts
remain, SSK.
Round 4: P1,
k2tog, work even until
2 sts before stitch marker,
SSK, p1, k2tog, k until
2 sts remain, SSK.
Round 6: P1,
k2tog[ssptbl, k2tog],
work even until 2 sts
before stitch marker,
SSK[p2tog, SSK], p1,
k2tog, k until 2 sts
remain, SSK.
Round 8: As
per round 4.
Repeat Rounds 1-8 until 44[44, 48] sts remain.
Next 4 rounds:
Rounds 1 and 3: K
all sts.
Rounds 2 and 4: *K1,
k2tog, k until 2 sts
before stitch marker,
SSK; rep to end of round.
36[36, 40] sts total.
Graft the heel closed.
Foot
If the foot sts are on
waste yarn, transfer all sts and the beg of rnd marker
to project needles. Join project yarn if previously cut.
Continue working the instep and sole sts starting at
the beg of rnd marker.
Round 1: K31[35,
39], p1, work round 1
from Chart A.
Round 2: K31[35,
39], p1, work next round
from Chart A.
Continue as established until the sole measured from the
back of the heel is approx 1.75[2, 2.25] inches shorter
than desired length. If you start the toe immediately after
completing round 1 or round 8 of Chart A, you will have
3 ribs centered on the toe as shown in the photos.
Toe
Round 1: Work
even.
Round 2: K2tog,
k until 2 sts before
the first purl st, SSK,
p1; decrease (see note
below) ; work even until
3 sts remain; decrease
(see note below), p1.
Note re: first decrease:
If the next 2
sts are a knit followed
by a purl st, work ssptbl, otherwise k2tog.
Note re: second decrease:
If the next st
is a purl st, work p2tog,
otherwise SSK.
Repeat Rounds 1 and 2 until 32[32, 36] sts remain.
Next 4 rounds:
Rounds 1 and 3: K
all sts.
Round 2: [K2tog,
k11[11, 13], SSK, k1];
rep to end of round.
28[28, 32] sts total.
Round 4: [K2tog,
k9[9, 11], SSK, k1];
rep to end of round.
24[24, 28] sts total.
Graft the toe closed.
