This is a top down, DK weight sock with a garter-edge traditional heel flap. It is worked using magic loop; needle 1 will be front of foot/instep and leg, and needle 2 will be back of the foot, leg and heel.

These can be made with one color, or two depending on size knitted and length of foot/leg. If using one color, just work CC sections with the MC, no need to cut yarn. You will need the combined yardage for the single color version.

Yarn:

120-250 yds DK weight yarn (MC)
50-125 yds DK weight yarn (CC)
Using a DK yarn with a little nylon will help them last, but not necessary, just make sure it is a high twist yarn.

Gauge:

23 sts and 32 rnds = 4”/10cm in st st in the round on US #2/2.75mm needles (Check gauge, all DK yarns are different and all knitters have a different tension, change needle size if needed to have your perfect fit.)

Sizes:

Size 1 (2, 3, 4, 5)

7” (7.7”, 8.3”, 9”, 9.7”) sock circumference at the foot.

Sock will fit with about 1” negative ease.
8” (8.7”, 9.3”, 10”, 10.7”) actual foot circumference.
