CPCTC

If you were intrigued by the heel of my Non-Euclidian socks but prefer to knit your socks toe up, CPCTC is for you! This pattern flips the original design upside down. Increases on the bottom of the foot create room in the gusset area. The heel turn then cups the back of the heel, and the remaining decreases create a faux heel flap. As in the original pattern, there are no stitches to pick up!

To knit this pattern, you need to know how to do a cast on for a toe-up sock (Judy’s Magic Cast On, figure-8 cast on, etc.), do lifted increases, do basic decreases (ssk, p2tog), knit and purl in the round, and do a stretchy bind off.

The pattern includes notes on how to adjust the placement of the heel if your round gauge differs from the gauge given in the pattern. Also, as with the original, this heel can be placed into any other pattern with the same stitch counts.

This pattern has been professionally tech edited and test knit.
