Gusset
Now you’ll pick up stitches along both sides of the heel flap and start knitting
the gusset. Pick up
one extra stitch on each side between the heel flap stitches and the instep
stitches to prevent a hole in
this area. Then decrease two stitches on every other round to shape the
gusset.
Gusset shaping
Pick up 18sts on each side of the gusset (plus an extra stitch in the corners if
you need to avoid a gap)
Round 1: k1, ssk, knit to 3 sts before the end of the needle, k2tog, k1
Round 2: knit
Repeat rounds 1 and 2 until 64sts remain.
Work in pattern until the foot measures 2 1/2″ shorter than desired length.
