Instructions

Sizing note: Instructions for smaller sizes are given in parentheses and separated by a slash.
If only one number is given, it applies to all sizes.

CUFF

Cast on 64 (60/56/52) stitches on DPNs and distribute them evenly. Knit one round.
Work 15 rows following the lace chart.

LEG (Upper Part)

Work 56 rows in pattern according to the chart — that is, repeat the lace chart 7 (7/6/6) times.

HEEL FLAP

Use needles 1 and 4 to work the heel flap over 32 (30/28/26) stitches.
Slip the first stitch knitwise and knit the last stitch through the back loop (these are the edge stitches).
Work the heel flap following the established pattern until you have 30 (28/28/26) rows in height.

Note: Work the first row using needle 1 only, since needle 4 is already used for the upper part of the sock.

HEEL TURN

1st row: Knit 17 (16/15/14), k2tog, k1, turn.
2nd row: Slip 1 purlwise, p3, p2tog, p1, turn.
3rd row: Slip 1 knitwise, knit to the stitch that was worked together in the previous row, k2tog, k1, turn.
4th row: Slip 1 purlwise, purl to the stitch that was worked together in the previous row, p2tog, p1, turn.

Repeat rows 3 and 4 until all stitches are worked.

Knit 9 (8/8/7) stitches (half of the remaining 18 (16/16/14) sts). Now resume working in the round.
