Update: An error was discovered on Line 4 of the heel flap. The pattern is now updated. If you downloaded it before July 1, 2011, please download it again. Sorry for any inconvenience.

This is a 64 st sock. The lace pattern is based on Stansfield 196 but mirrored to form Diamonds. Actually I started this design differently, but the diamonds weren’t working out like I planned and when I adjusted, I realized how closely the lace chart was to the Stansfield one.

I have again used the same toe-up heel as in Lacy Ripples and Emily’s Socks that I worked out after trying Wendy Johnson’s heel. But I didn’t like the idea of adding or dropping stitches at heel time to use her heel so I worked out my own by drawing out what I did with a top-down 64 st sock and reversing the numbers. It’s similar to her heel, but took me several days to work out the numbers for this one -- probably because I’m a bit slow. But my family did tease me for turning heels on napkins and bulletin covers as well as in my sleep.
