Begin k1 p1 pattern
It took me 30 rows to get to where I put the heel
Short row heel - Leave 6 stitches unworked in center of heel
Begin k1, p1 pattern again
I did 35 rounds
Change to p1, k1 rib for 5 rounds and then do a stretchy bind off
(Stretchy Bind Off Notes:
On the row before the bind off row: K1fb (=M1), pull the M1 tight, P1.
Bind off row: K1, slip the M1, pass the K1 over the slipped M1, P1, pass the slipped M1 over
the P1, K1, pass the P1 over, etc. as for a regular bind off.)
Weave in ends and make the second sock!
