Notes

I like this leaves motif so much! It turned out so nice and cozy =)

Inspired by pmack17’s socks I decided to do the same toes for my project.
I made a little chart of my mods for toes. I’ll be happy if anyone else would find it helpful, so feel free to use it in your project. =) Please note, that this chart is unofficial, I’ve just shared the picture that I’ve had made for myself. It’s never been tested and is only for size XL. Please use it on your own risk.

Mods

Toes
I did the figure-eight CO 14 sts, then 22 rows of modified toe pattern, then started with row 7 of the main chart. Cabling without the cable needle - so far so good.

Heel
I altered the short-row heel with the gusset one. For heels I increased the instep section up to 60 sts, then cont knitting back and forth each sock’s heel in the following manner:
RS row: k48, w&t
WS row: p34, w&t
RS row: k33, w&t
Cont in this manner until the final row:
WS row: p14, w&t.

Then I started to turn the gusset.
RS row: k14, k10 picking up all the wrapped sts, sssk (slip, slip, slip, knit)
WS row: sl1 purlwise, p24, p10 picking up all the wrapped sts, p3tog

And the last portion, the heel flap. I didn’t do the k1 sl1 heel stitch, it’s just the stockinette. So:
RS row: sl1, k34, ssk
WS row: sl1, p34, p2tog
Rep the last two rows until there’s only 36 sts left on the sole section. Cont the pattern.
