For SSK use Patty Lyon’s one move SSK. Did second sock this way and so much neater

My copy pattern had an error. When decreasing after picking up the gusset remember to decrease back down to 72 stitches (or starting number from cast on)

Leg a little longer than I would’ve liked. Decrease up to 20 rows. So say 47 row after rib but before heel. It’s a long heel flap.
