Heel Placement
Drop, but do not cut, working yarn.
With smaller needles and waste yarn,
knit the first 14 (14, 18) sts. Slip these 14
(14, 18) sts back to left needles (where
you began using the waste yarn). Drop
the waste yarn and pick up the working
yarn again.
Foot
Continue with smaller needles and
working yarn.
Round 1: Knit.
Round 2: K14 (14, 18), *p2, k2; repeat
from * to last 2 sts, p2.
Repeat Rounds 1 and 2 until foot
measures about 6 (6½, 7)" [15 (16.5, 18)
cm], measuring from waste yarn, end
with a Round 2.
If needed, redistribute sts so that you
have 7 (7, 9) sts on each of 4 needles.
Toe
Round 1:
needle #1: K1, ssk, knit to end of needle.
needle #2: Knit to last 3 sts, k2tog, k1.
needle #3: K1, ssk, knit to end of needle.
needle #4: Knit to last 3 sts, k2tog,
k1—6 (6, 8) sts on each needle (24 (24,
32) sts total).
Round 2: Knit all sts on all 4 needles.
Repeat Rounds 1 and 2 until a total of 16
(16, 24) sts remain (4 (4, 6) sts on each
of 4 needles).
Repeat Round 1 until a total of 8 (8, 12)
sts remain (2 (2, 3) sts on each of 4
needles).
Graft Toe
Redistribute sts onto 2 needles, placing
sts of first 2 needles onto a single
needle and all sts of last 2 needles onto
another single needle—4 (4, 6) sts on
each of 2 needles
Cut the working yarn, leaving a long
tail for grafting.
Thread yarn needle with the long tail.
Hold the 2 needles in the left hand with
wrong sides together. Keeping the yarn
needle and yarn under the points of
the knitting needles, graft the stitches
together as follows:
*1. Insert yarn needle through first st of
front needle as if to knit and slip the
st off.
2. Insert needle through 2nd st of front
needle as if to purl, but leave the st on
the needle.
3. Insert yarn through first st on back
needle as if to purl and slip the st off.
4. Insert yarn through 2nd stitch on
back needle as if to knit, but leave st
on needle. Repeat from * until all the
sts are joined. Take care to draw yarn
up so that gauge of grafting equals
gauge of knitting. Fasten off. Weave
in ends on wrong side.
AFTERTHOUGHT HEEL
With smaller needles, insert one needle
through the right leg of the first 7 (7,
9) working yarn sts immediately below
the waste yarn. Insert a second needle
through the right leg of the remaining
7 (7, 9) working yarn sts immediately
below the waste yarn. Rotate the sock
so that the needles you just inserted are
now above the waste yarn. With 2 more
smaller needles, repeat the process of
inserting needles below the waste yarn.
Carefully remove the waste yarn.
Next Round: Join working yarn at either
side of the sts you have just placed on
needles and knit around—28 (28, 36) sts.

Repeat Round 1 once more—12 (12, 16)
sts (3 (3, 4) sts on each of 4 needles).
Redistribute sts onto 2 needles, placing

needle and all sts of last 2 needles onto
another single needle—6 (6, 8) sts on
