Hey Jupite
The color of this yarn is named after a particular type of lava flow found in Hawai. Pele is the Hawaian goddess of fire,lightning, volcanoes, and dance.It seems only fiting that the name of this sock patern would have similar origins. Named after the Tori Amos song of the same title, these socks were inspired by the beautiful violence of the goddess Pele, pah hoe hoe lava, and the album Boys for Pele on which "Hey Jupiter" is featured. Materials: dkKnits technicolor smoosh toes ( $75\%$ superwash merino wool, $25\%$ nylon; 440 yd per $1009$ skein), shown in Pa Hoe Hoe Flow. Available for purchase at dkknits.etsy.com or yarn4socks.com.

Using your preferred cast on, CO 66 sts. Join in the round and knit in Patterned Ribbing for approximately one inch. Switch to chart. Knit 2 full chart repeats. Knit rows 1-15. Begin working the heel.
Heel flap:
The heel is knit back and forth across one ndl in pattern. All stitches should be slipped purl wise. Row 1: [RS] sl1, k8, [k1tbl, p1] 7x, k1tbl, k9, turn work. Row 2: [WS] sl1, p8, [p1tbl, k1] 7x, p1tbl, p9, turn work. Repeat rows 1 and 2 until you have 15 slipped stitches on each edge. For a higher instep, work additional rows. End with a WS row.
Turning the heel:
Row 1: [RS] sl1, k17, ssk, k1, turn work. Row 2: [WS] sl1, p5, p2tog, p1, turn work. Row 3: sl1, k to one stitch before the gap, ssk, k1, turn work Row 4: sl1, p to one stitch before the gap, p2tog, p1. turnwork Continue in this manner until all stitches have been worked, you should end with a WS row. Proceed to gusset. Note: because the heel flap is knit across 33 sts, one stitch will remain unworked.
Gusset decreases:
Continue kniting the instep sts, while keeping the foot sts in pattern. Decrease as follows: Row 1: Beginning with heel sts, k to last 3 sts, k2tog, k1. Continue foot pattern. k1, ssk, k across heel. Row 2: K all heel sts, continue knitting foot in pattern. Stop decreasing after you have 33 sts for the instep (66 sts total). Continue knitting in pattern until $z"$ from your toe.
