Sock Leg (Video Time 11:54)
Leg Ribbing Round: Knit 1, Purl 1, *Knit 3, Purl 1* repeat between *s across the round
until 2 stitches remain, Knit 2
Continue working the Leg Ribbing Round until the sock leg reaches the desired length.
Note the heel flap (worked next) adds approximately 1.5(1.75)[2] inches
(3.8(4.4)[5.1]cm) to the full length of the leg portion of the sock.
Heel Flap (Video Time 14:13)
Note: The heel flap is worked on 28(32)[36] stitches. To work the heel flap, Row 1 is
worked across one needle (half of the total sock stitches). The work is then turned, and
Row 2 is worked on the inside of the sock across the same stitches that were used for
Row 1. You continue turning your work back and forth working only one half of the total
sock stitches until the heel flap measures the length noted below.
Heel Flap Row 1 (Outside of Sock): *Slip 1 stitch purlwise with the yarn in back, Knit 1*
Repeat across the first 28(32)[36] stitches of each sock. Turn work.
Heel Flap Row 2 (Inside of Sock): Working across the inside of the sock along the same
stitches that were worked for Heel Flap Row 1, slip the first stitch purlwise with the yarn
in front and then purl across the needle. Turn work.
Repeat Heel Flap Rows 1 & 2 a total of 14(16)[18] times. This is 28(32)[36]
rows total.

Continue repeating Heel Decrease Repeat Rounds 1 &2 until there are
56(64)[72] stitches remaining.
Re-Organize the Stitches (Video Time 30:24)

To knit the main portion of the foot and later for the toe decreases I have found it helps
to re-organize the stitches so that there are 28(32)[36] stitches on each needle. To
accomplish this, I move the knit stitches that are after to the stitch marker from the
needle holding the front side of the sock to the heel flap needle.
Foot
Continue knitting across the heel flap side of the sock and working in pattern the front
side of the sock until the sock measures 2” (5 cm) less than the length of your foot.

Toe decreases (Video Time 32:37)
Toe Decrease Round
Heel Flap Side: Knit 1, SSK, Knit until 3 stitches remain, K2T, Knit 1. Repeat for
the 2nd sock.
Front Side: Knit 1, SSK, work in pattern until 3 stitches remain, K2T, Knit 1.
Once the toe decrease rounds are complete there should be 8(12)[16] stitches
remaining for each sock on each needle or 16(24)[32] stitches total per sock.
Bind off each sock using the Kitchener Stitch.

Repeat for the second sock!

needle, leave the stitch on the needle
