Rib St: worked over 4 rounds, 72 [80, 88] sts:
Rounds 1, 2, and 4: [K3, p1, (k1 tbl, p1) 14 [16, 18] times, k3, p1], rep to end
Round 3: [CR, p1, (k1 tbl, p1) 14 [16, 18] times, CL, p1], rep to end.

CO 72 [80, 88] sts. Divide evenly across 3 or 4 needles and join to begin working in the round.
Work rounds 1-4 of Rib St twice, then work rounds 1 & 2 of Rib St once more. 10 rounds total.

Leg
Choose the appropriate version of chart below for the size you are working. Charts are large and will take an entire page to print.

• Small chart
• Medium chart
• Large chart

Work rounds 1-32 of chart twice. Work round 1 of chart once more.

Heel Flap
The heel flap is worked flat across 37 [41, 45] sts, which may be consolidated onto one needle.

Set-up: Transfer the last instep st onto the next needle of the round—the first sole needle. 35 [39, 43] instep sts, 37 [41, 45] sole sts.

Turn work.

Rows 1 & 3 [WS]: K1, p3, [k1, p1 tbl] across heel flap sts until 4 sts remain, p3, sl1 wyif.
Row 2 [RS]: K4, [p1, k1 tbl] across heel flap sts until 5 sts remain, p1, k3, sl1 wyif.
Row 4 [RS]: K1, CR, [p1, k1 tbl] across heel flap sts until 5 sts remain, p1, CL, sl1 wyif.

Repeat these 4 rows 6 [6, 7] times more, followed by rows 1 & 2. 30 [30, 34] rows total.

Note: If you have a large instep, you may wish to work a longer heel flap to add height to the foot of the sock. If you do this, be sure to pick up more gusset sts and work more gusset decrease rounds accordingly.

Gusset
Round 1: Pick up and knit 17 [17, 19] sts along the side of the heel flap; continue the instep pattern with row 2 of chart across the 35 [39, 43] sts of the instep, pick up and knit 1 st at the top of the heel flap; pick up and knit 16 [16, 18] sts along the side of the heel flap, and k11 [12, 13] sts from heel turn needle; transfer remaining 10 [11, 12] sts from the heel turn needle onto the next needle in the round. Sole/gusset: 54 [56, 62] sts, divided across two needles, instep: 36 [40, 44] sts. 90 [96, 106] sts total.

Round 2: K sts on the first needle until 3 sts remain, k2tog, p1; work 36 [40, 44] instep sts in established pattern from chart; ssk, k to end of round.

Round 3: K sts on needle 1 until 1 st remains, p1; work 36 [40, 44] instep sts in established pattern from chart; k to end of round.

Repeat Rounds 2 and 3 until 34 [38, 42] sole sts remain.

Foot
K remaining sole sts until 2 sts remain, k1 tbl, p1. This is the new beginning of the round.

Foot round: *Continue instep pattern in established pattern from chart; work sole sts as follows: k1 tbl, k until 2 sts remain, k1 tbl, p1. Rep from * until foot is approx 2 [2.25, 2.5] inches shorter than desired length.

Round 1: Instep: Cont cable pattern as established on first 3 sts, p1, k2tog tbl, work even in pattern — k tbl the k tbl sts and p the p sts — until 7 instep sts remain, sl1, sl1 as if to p tbl, return 2 sl sts to left needle, k2tog, p1, cont cable pattern as established on next 3 sts, p1; sole: k1 tbl, ssk, k until 4 sole sts remain, k2tog, k1 tbl, p1.

Round 2: Instep: Cont cable pattern as established on first 3 sts, p1, k1 tbl, work even across instep sts in pattern until 6 instep sts remain, k1 tbl, p1, cont cable pattern as established on next 3 sts, p1; sole: k1 tbl, k until 2 sole sts remain, k1 tbl, p1.

Repeat Rounds 1 and 2 until there are 20 instep sts and 18 sole sts. Transfer last instep st onto the next needle in the round. 19 instep sts and 19 sole sts, 38 sts total.

Round 1: Instep: K1, ssk, k until 3 instep remain, k2tog, k1; sole: k2, ssk, k until 4 sole sts remain, k2tog, k2.

Round 2: K all sts.

Repeat Rounds 1 and 2 until 18 sts remain.

Graft the toe closed.

Option 2—St st toe: To setup, transfer the last instep st onto the next needle in the round. 35 [39, 43] instep sts and 35 [39, 43] sole sts, 70 [78, 86] sts total.

Round 1: Instep: K1, ssk, k until 3 instep remain, k2tog, k1; sole: k1, ssk, k until 3 sole sts remain, k2tog, k1.

Round 2: K all sts.

Repeat Rounds 1 and 2 until 18 sts remain.
