Notes

July 26, 2026: The entire sock is knit on 2.0mm needles.
GTCO 76 sts. I knit the entire sock with 76 sts.
1x1 rib for 18 rows

Cuff to beginning of heel: 101 rounds.

Heel flap and gusset: Knit the 2nd half of round 102 in CC. Started Eye of the Partridge heel flap on the WS on the 2nd half of the sts. Heel flap is 39 rows. Heel turn beginning on the WS on row 40. I used the 2nd method in this video by Suzanne BryanI to pick up the heel sts from the garter edge. I ended up picking 20 sts along the heel flap. I used this technique by Knit Sip Happy to close the gap between the gusset sts and the instep sts.

Modified French Heel turn (rounder french heel): Roxanne Richardson on the Rounder Heel
Instead of 1, you knit 3 sts past the center. So,
Row 1: sl1, p21, p2tog, p1, turn.
Row 2: sl1, k7, ssk, k1, turn.

Knit 92 rows after the heel turn and beginning of the toe decreases. That made it 22cm from the back of the heel to the beg of the toe decreases.

Rounded wedge toe starting with 76 sts.
(Decrease, Knit two rows) repeat 3 times. This adds 9 rows. 32 sts remaining on each needle.
(Decrease, knit 1 row) repeat 7 times. Adds 14 rows; 20 sts remaining on each needle.
Decrease every row until 12 sts remain on each needle. This adds 4 rows.
Toe decreases span 27 rows.

Measurements (blocked):
Cuff length: 1.5 ibches
cuff to beg of heel: 20cm
Width of the foot: 9.5cm
Back of the heel to beg of toe decreases: 20.5cm
Back of the heel to end of toe decreases: 24.5cm
