Cuff - k1p1 rib for 16 rows, followed by one row of set-up
Leg - work in spiral rib pattern until leg measures 6.5” from cast on edge.

Next row, k2, purl the YO, then P2tog, followed by K3, purl the YO, P2tog till the end of the row. Then rearrange stitches on the needles such that the front 30 stitches are worked in k3p2 and the back 30 stitches are worked in k to the last two st., then p2. Work this last row for total of 14 rows.
At the end of the 14th row, slide the last two purl stitches from the back half on to the front half so that there are now 28 st. on the back half.
