Cast on 48 (56) stitches onto one circular needle. Transfer 24 (28) stitches to second needle by slipping them over. Join the open end by switching the two end stitches: move the first stitch on the back needle to the front needle and the stitch that used to be the first stitch on the front needle to the back needle crossing over the stitch that has already been moved from the back needle. This makes an X that is secure.
Work all rounds in K2, P2 ribbing for 6 (7) inches.
You will be working the heel flap back and forth on the 24 (28) stitches on one needle.

With the same needle and the right side facing you, pick up and knit 12 (15) stitches along the loops in the heel flap. Pick up one additional stitch in the corner between the heel flap and the instep. You should have 27 (32) on this needle. We will call this needle (with the heel) the Bottom needle and the other needle the Instep needle.
Knit across all the stitches on the Instep needle.
With the Bottom needle and the right side facing you, pick up and knit one stitch in the corner. Pick up and knit 12 (15) stitches in the loops along the other side on the heel flap. Knit across the other stitches on the Bottom needle. You should now have 24 (28) stitches on the Instep needle and 40 (48) on the Bottom needle.

Instep needle: K all stitches.
Bottom needle: K1, SSK, K until 3 stitches before the end of the needle, K2tog, K1
ROUND 2

Bottom needle: K all stitches.
Repeat these two rounds until there are 24 (28) stitches on each needle.
This is 48 (56) stitches total.
Measuring from the back of the heel (along the bottom of the sock),
knit all rounds evenly until foot is 1
inches short
of desired length.

Instep needle: K1, SSK, K until there are three stitches left on the needle, K2tog, K1
Bottom needle: K1, SSK, K until there are three stitches left on the needle, K2tog, K1

Cut yarn leaving a long tail. Thread yarn onto tapestry needle. Line up stitches on the two needles so that they appear side by side with one needle in the back and one in the front.qq
Pull the yarn snug but not tight after each of these stitches:
Draw yarn purlwise through the first stitch on the front needle and leave that stitch on the needle.
Draw yarn purlwise through the first stitch on the back needle and remove that stitch from the needle.
Draw yarn knitwise through the new first stitch on the back needle and leave that stitch on the needle.
Draw yarn knitwise through the first stitch on the front needle and remove that stitch from the needle.
Draw yarn purlwise through the new first stitch on the front needle and leave that stitch on the needle.
Draw yarn purlwise through the first stitch on the back needle and remove that stitch from the needle.
Draw yarn knitwise through the new first back stitch and leave on.
Draw yarn knitwise through the first front stitch and remove.
And so on and so forth until all of the stitches have been removed from the needles.
Weave in all loose threads.
