Dread picking up the gusset on your socks? Me too! I had done short row heels before but like the ribbed heel that I think wears longer. This pattern uses the same slip one, knit one ribbing of traditional gusset socks. Try it, you’ll like it!

The pattern is written for ankle socks, but you can make the leg as long as you’d like before starting the heel, just adjust your yardage accordingly. The ankle sock only takes about 150 yards for a small foot and maybe 300 for the largest size. You can even use your favorite sock pattern and just drop the heel portion from this sock into it! Have fun!
