Pattern
Begin toe:
Using Magic Cast On (Google it if youre unsure),cast on 12 sts on each needle (24 sts total). Knit one row. Row 1: (k1, M1L, knit across to last stitch, M1R, k1) twice. Row 2: knit all sts. Repeat Rows 2 and 3 until you have 32 sts on each needle (64 sts total).
Begin knitting in the round:
With the knit side facing you, knit 16 stithes. M. Knit across the remaining stitches. This is Needle 1 - top of foot. Next, unzip your provisional cast on and place the stitches on your needle. This is Needle 2 - bottom of foot. You now have 65 stitches, (33, 32)
Begin Foot:
Work Chart 1 of pattern on needle 1 (top of foot) as you continue stockinette stitch on needle 2 (sole stitches. Continue knitting on 65 stitches until your sock reaches the point where your leg connects to your foot, ending with Row 12. If desired, knit for an additional one-half inch to allow for ease. I started the heel after 7 repeats for my $10.5^{\circ}$ foot.) Try to end with last row of chart. You should be ready for the heel on the next row with the WS facing.
Begin Heel:
NOTE: Heel is worked in rows on 32 stitches of Needle 2. Heel Flap Pattern: Row 1: Slip 1, purl across Row 2: Slip 1, knit across Work in heel flap pattern until you have 32 heel flap rows. End with a knit row.
Turn Heel as Follows:
Row 1: S11, p17, p2tog, p1, turn. Row 2: S1 1, k5, ssk, k1, turn Row3: Sl1, purlto gap, ptog (pur together the stitchbeore th ap and the stitch afe the gap),, t Row 4: Sl1, knit togap, ssk (knit tgether the stitch before the gap and the stitch after the gap),k1, tun Repeat rows 3 and 4 until 18 sts remain. End after a knit row.
Gusset:
With right sie facing, pickup and knit 8 stitches from the lft sieof theheel flap pusknit ne sthn the gusset corner (see Picture 1). Knit in pattern across needle 1. Pick up one stitch in the other gusset corner and 18 stitches from the right side of the heel flap. Knit these stitches. Knit the remaining stitches on needle 2 and knit in pattern across needle 1. Rearrange stitches so that you have the first 29 sts of Chart 2 on Needle 1 and 59 sts on needle 2.

Needle 2: Work Rnd 1 of heel pattern. Rnd 2 of Gusset Decreases: Needle 1: Work next row of chart pattern. Needle 2: Work next rnd of heel pattern. Repeat round 2 until you have returned to your original stitch count of 65. Transfer sts as necessary so that you have returned to your original stitch placement. (33, 32)
Begin Sock Leg and Rib:
Next Rnd: Work Row 1 of Chart 2 across needle 1; on needle 2 - k16, M1, k16. Stitches total 66. Note: you may have to move some stitches around your needles to make following the chart to knit the leg a bit morecomfortable. Repeat Chart 2 until desired leg height, ending with Row 12. Work Chart 3 for ribbing twice. Cast off loosely - preferably using Elizabeth Zimmerman's sewn cast off. Copyright $\copyright$ Rosi Garmendia, 2007. All rights reserved.
