MATERIALS:
SIZE: Adult Medium (8” ankle)
GAUGE: 8 sts/12 rows per inch for 2.5 mm needles
ABBREVIATIONS:
PATTERN STITCH: Zigzag Rib (multiple of 6)
CABLE PATTERN: (multiple of 18)
row 1: * k3, p1, RT, p1, 9-st front cable, p1, RT, p1; repeat from * to end
String 24 beads onto the long tail end of yarn. You will slide these beads to the needle as you cast on.
(how to string beads onto yarn: use either a bead threader or a thin sewing needle which can fit through bead hole.
Tie a short length of thread to the end of yarn and thread other end through threader or sewing needle. )
CUFF: On 2.25mm needles, using the German Twisted Cast-on, cast-on 1 sts, slide bead from long tail end
of yarn snuggly up to needle, cast-on 3 sts, slide bead, repeat until all 24 beads have been used, then cast-on
2 more stitches. (72 sts). Divide stitches onto 4 dps, one or two circulars as per your own preference.
Join, being careful not the twist your stitches. Place marker to indicate beginning of round.
Beging Zig-Zag rib starting at Row 4, and work Zig-Zag rib for 13 rounds. If you prefer a longer leg, work more rounds of ribbing ending on row 4.
LEG: Using 2.5 mm needles, work rows 1-12 of cable pattern for 4 repeats. Work rows 1-3 one more time then begin set-up for heel flap.
SET-UP ROW FOR CABLED HEEL FLAP: k7, k2tog, k1, pm (beginning of the heel flap), ssk, [k3, p1, yo, sl 1 (see special instructions above), p1] twice, k3, p1, k1tbl, p1, [k3, p1, yo, sl 1 (see special instructions above), p1] twice, k3, k2tog, pm (end of heel flap), k1, k2tog, k14, ssk, k6. Now, k9 to first marker. You will need to realign the stitches on your needles (35 sts heel/32 sts instep).
SET-UP ROW FOR PLAIN HEEL FLAP: Knit around, decreasing 8 sts evenly (64 sts). Rearange sts so that cables are centered on front of leg and work your favorite heel. (32 sts heel/32 sts instep)
HEEL: will be worked over 35 sts. Place remaining 32 sts on a holder for instep. Heel flap is worked back and forth. Heel flap should measure 2 ½ inches when completed.
SET-UP ROW FOR HEEL TURN:
TURN HEEL: Rounder Heel
GUSSET: Evenly pick up and knit 20 sts along side of heel. Place marker for gusset. Knit 32 instep sts. Place marker for gusset. Pick up and knit same number of stitches along remaining side of heel. Knit 10 stitches and place marker. The beginning of the round is now the middle of the heel flap.

Work rows 1-12 for heel flap twice (24 rows). Then work rows 1-3 once more (NOTE: REPLACE BEAD WITH K1).
row 1 (wrong side): knit the k sts, purl the p sts, across to last st
row 2: knit the k sts, purl the p sts, across to last st
row 3: knit the k sts, purl the p sts, across to last st
row 4: k11, k2tog, k3, ssk, k4, k2tog, k 11 (32 sts)

row 2: sl 1, k7, ssk, k1, turn
row 3: sl 1, p8 , p2tog, p1, turn
row 4: sl 1, k9, ssk, k1, turn
Continue working one more stitch until all the stitches have been worked. You should end on a knit row with 20 stitches remaining. Do not turn work. Begin gusset.
round 1 (decrease round): Knit to last 3 stitches before marker, k2tog, k1. Knit even
across instep sts to next marker. Slip marker, k1, ssk, knit to end of round.
round 2: Knit around.
Repeat these two rounds until 64 stitches remain (32 instep/32 sole).
Decrease round: knit to last 3 stitches before first marker, k2tog, k1. Slip marker, k1, ssk, knit across to last 3 stitches
before second marker k2tog, k1. Slip marker, k1, ssk, knit to end. Now
(work one round even, work decrease round) until 32 stitches remain. Then work decrease round only until 20 stitches remain. Use Kitchener stitch to close toes.
1. Using a crochet hook: You will need a small hook that will fit through bead hole: When you reach the stitch
for BEAD, slide bead onto shaft of crochet hook. With yarn held in back, slip st off needle and catch with crochet hook.
Slide bead onto stitch, then slip stitch onto right needle. The bead is now attached.
2. To knit pre-strung bead (p1, BEAD, p1): pl, then wyif, slide a bead snuggly up to right needle, slip next
stitch as if to purl, p1. The bead is now attached.
