  • ribbing 12 r,
  • using lifted increases instead of YOs,
  • leg r1-36 + 1-27,
  • heelflap plain stockinet 34 r, knit first and slip last st on all r, decreased 2 st on first r, rounded heel, picked up 18 st on each side for gussets and knit through the backloop on first r, decreased back to 18 st on each needle every 3rd r,
  • foot r 28-36 + 1-36 twice + 1-6,
  • toe decreased every other r until 40 st left then every r until 8 left, cut yarn and pulled through.

Timeline
2019-02-07: Not happy with how the increases look. Even knitted through the backloop these YOs look too holey. Frogged back to ribbing and started over using lifted increases instead. Much better!
