Work pattern in rounds 1&2 alternating rows until the sock somes to your ankle bone
Start heel
we will be working a short row heel
sc in 34 sc, turn
ch1,sc in next 33 sc, turn
ch1, sc in next 32 sc, turn
continue to leave 1 sc un worked until you have 16 sc
Now you need to add the stitches back in
ch1, sc to end, insert hook into space before laast unworked stitch, draw up a loop, then insert hook into last un worked stitch, draw up a loop, yo and draw yarn thru all 3 lps, turn
repeat in this fashion until you once again have 34 stitches,
You will now be on RS

sc across back of heel to front of foot, st front you will continue with the scfl,scbl pattern (as above) until you reach your desired cuff length.
Or if you are like me and like ankle sock, stop after working first complete round after heel (pictured)
To finish work in reverse single crochet around the top of your sock.
We did not design this sock to have a ribbed cuff but if you would like to add one istead of doing a reverse sc edgeing , feel free to do so.
