This was an interesting one to test knit for because it took place while I was in China! Thank you so much to my amazing test knitters who had patience and awesome knit skills. Please enjoy my newest pattern and leave me a message if you have any questions!

(You should have closed all ‘gaps’ and have 18 stitches from
the heel flap and turn)
Now you will pick up and knit 16 stitches
along the heel flap (one stitch for every garter bump)
Once you’ve picked up the first side of the gusset, pick up
one extra stitch in between the gusset and top of the foot (This helps close up
any small hole between gusset and foot)
Place marker A after picking up and knitting the stitch
between gusset and foot
Work pattern across top of foot, place marker B.
Now pick up and knit one stitch between the top of the foot
and the next side of the gusset, pick up and knit 16 garter bumps from heel
flap. (You now have 84 stitches on your needles, 32 from marker A to B, and 52
from marker B to A)
Gusset:
Knit one round plain (no increasing/decreasing, follow
pattern at top of the foot)
After knitting this round, stop three stitches before marker
A
Round 1: K2TOG, K 1, sm, work in pattern to next marker, sm,
K 1, SSK, knit to the end of the round.
Round 2: Knit to marker A, sm, work in pattern to next
marker, sm B knit to last three stitches before marker A.
Repeat these two rounds until you
have 32 stitches left between marker B and A
(You now have 64 stitches total;
stitch count will stay the same until you start the toe)
Foot:
Continue working in pattern across top of foot and knitting
along the bottom until foot length measures 1.5 inches less than desired
length.
Toe:
Start toe decreases three stitches before marker A (When
knitting in the round becomes uncomfortable, switch to Double Point Needles)
Round 1: K2TOG, K1, sm, K1, SSK, knit to three stitches
before next marker, K2TOG, K1, sm, K1, SSK, knit to the end of the round.
Round 2: Knit entire round
Repeat these two rounds until sock measures length of foot.
Complete the sock with a kitchener stitch. (Here are links
to two different tutorials)
