I got this pattern ages ago and decided to make it when I didn’t care for the stage 3 TdS pattern. Easy enough, with twisted sts and some purl st backgrounds. Worked from the toe up starting with karendidit’s gusset toe and starting the pattern at 60 sts. Changed to 2.00mm needle for flap and gusset heel, then up to 2.75 for sock legs, 3.0mm for ribbing. Worked TAAT on 2 circs.

On these socks, I went back to increasing for the gusset at 4-1/2” from start of toe but did the increases on either side of the original 30 sts. Used the bar increase (Kfandb) and got quite a lovely line up the sides of the foot.
