Continue to FOOT
FOOT (all):
Now you will be working in continuous rounds.
sc across the foundation row (this will be the top of the foot seam (like you aee n commercial socks)[29(31,34) sc]).
you now should have 58(62,68) sc around the entire foot.
you will sc around and around until the sock reached the beginning of your heel.
Continue to heel shapeing
HEEL SHAPING
to shape the toe use the same directions as your Toe.
you must be careful to start the heel to that your toe seam will remain on the top of your foot.
continue to cuff
CUFF
continue to sc around your 59(62,64) stitches.
other cuff options will be coming, but this will be just a basic design. you will be able to substitue your favorite cuff style later.
