Loosely CO 64 sts. Arrange on three needles, with 24 sts on first needle, 16 sts on second needle and 24 sts on third needle. Join into a circle, being careful not to twist your sts. Work in K2 P2 ribbing for 1½".
Change to st st and work either Right or Left Spiral pattern until piece measures 7" from CO edge, ending with an even numbered row.
K16 sts. Sl rem sts on this needle to needle 2 for holding. Turn work. Sl 1, P31. Move rem sts on this needle to needle 2 for holding. You now have 32 sts held on needle 2 for your instep, and 32 sts to work for your heel flap.
Worked back and forth in rows.
Row 1 (RS): * Sl 1, K1, rep from * to end of row.
Row 2: Sl 1, P to end of row.
Rep these two rows 14 times more, them work row 1 again — 31 rows.
Row 1: Sl 1, P16, P2tog, P1, turn.
Row 2: Sl 1, K3, K2tog, K1, turn.
Row 3: Sl 1, P4, P2tog, P1, turn.
Row 4: Sl 1, K5, K2tog, K1, turn.

Row 11: Sl 1, P12, P2tog, P1, turn.
Row 12: Sl 1, K13, K2tog, K1, turn.
Row 13: Sl 1, P14, P2tog, P1, turn.
Row 14: Sl 1, K15, K2tog, K1. 18 sts rem.
Continuing with the needle holding your heel sts, pick up and K 16 sts down the left side of heel flap. Using a second needle, K32 sts at instep. Using a third needle, pick up and K 16 sts up the right side of heel flap. K9 sts to center of heel. 82 sts. Beg of round is at center of heel. K one round, continuing Spiral pattern as established on instep (needle 2).
Round 1:
Needle 1 — K to last 3 sts, K2tog, K1.
Needle 2 — K
Needle 3 — K1, SSK, K to end of round.
Round 2:
Needle 1 — K
Needle 2 — Work Spiral pattern as established.
Needle 3 — K
Alternate these two rounds 8 times more — 64 sts.
Continue without shaping, maintaining
Spiral pattern as established on instep, until foot is 2½" less then desired foot length measured from back of heel (about 7" for a women’s shoe size 8).
Discontinue spiral pattern.
Round 1: * K6, K2tog, rep from * to end of round.
Rounds 2–7: K
Round 8: * K5, K2tog, rep from * to end of round.
Rounds 9–13: K
Round 14: * K4, K2tog, rep from * to end of round.
Rounds 15–18: K
