- Needles: US 1 / UK 13 / 2.25 mm double-pointed needles
- Tapestry needle
- Stitch markers
Gauge:
32 stitches and 40 rows = 4 inches in stockinette stitch
Instructions:
- Cast on 64 stitches using the long tail cast on method.
- Divide the stitches evenly onto 4 double-pointed needles (16 stitches on each needle) and join in the round, being careful not to twist the stitches.
- Knit in a K2, P2 ribbing for 1.5 inches.
- Next, knit in stockinette stitch until the sock measures approximately 6 inches from the cast on edge, ending with a purl round.
- Heel Flap: Work the heel flap back and forth on half of the total stitches. Row 1: *Sl1, K1; repeat from * to end. Row 2: Sl1, purl to end. Repeat these 2 rows until the heel flap measures 2 inches.
- Turn Heel: Row 1: K18, SSK, K1, turn. Row 2: Sl1, purl7, P2tog, P1, turn. Row 3: Sl1, knit to 1 stitch before gap, SSK (passing the gap), K1, turn. Row 4: Sl1, purl to 1 stitch before gap, P2tog (passing the gap), P1, turn. Repeat these last 2 rows until all stitches have been worked. 20 stitches remain.
- Gusset: Pick up and knit 9 stitches along the side of the heel flap, knit across the instep stitches, pick up and knit 9 stitches along the other side of the heel flap. Rearrange stitches if necessary so you have 32 stitches on the instep.
- Decrease for gusset as follows: Round 1: Knit to last 3 stitches on the first needle, K2tog, K1. Knit across instep stitches. On the second needle, K1, SSK, knit to end. Rounds 2-3: Knit even. Repeat these two rounds until you have 64 total stitches again.

- Toe: Round 1: Knit to last 3 stitches on first needle, K2tog, K1. On the second needle, K1, SSK, knit to last 3 stitches, K2tog, K1. Repeat for third and fourth needles. Round 2: Knit even. Repeat these two rounds until you have 16 stitches total. Graft toe stitches together using Kitchener stitch.
