A note before beginning - Your tension is very important in socks with stranded knitting, particularly on the couple of rows in this pattern where you work with 3 colors. You may want to go up a needle size (or two) for the stranded sections of the sock so that those areas are stretchy enough to pull over your heel. You can also choose to use the Alternate Charts at the end of the pattern if you want only two colors per round.
