Gusset
Pick up stitches along gusset ( still using smaller needles ), making one stitch at side of heel flap ( using the bar between ) knitting into the back loop of all picked up stitches, to avoid holes.

I kept to the smaller needles on the soles and larger on the tops of the feet to give a stronger sole, yet stay a little more “roomy” on top.
After picking up stitches on right side, knit across needles # 2 & # 3 using sz. 8 dpns. Then pick up stitches on left side using size 6 again ( needle # 4 ).
Knit to center of heel using needle # 4, place stitches back on 4 dpns, by sliding the other half of the heel stitches to needle # 1. You should have half the heel stitches and the gusset stitches on needle # 1 ( sz. 6 ). 10 stitches on needle # 2 & # 3 each ( sz. 8 ) and the other side gusset and heel stitches on needle # 4 ( sz. 6 ).
Knit one round.

Start gusset decreases
Knit to last three stitches of needle # 1 then k2tog, k1. Knit across needles #2 & # 3 to needle # 4, k1, skp, knit to end of round.
Knit next round.
Keep decreasing in this manner until you have 10 sts left on gusset each needle.

Knit for 4”, switch to all smaller sized needles, knit for 1” ( for a total of 5 “ from end of heel ) this adds to the strength for the tops of the toes.
Toes
Needle # 1: k to last 3 sts., k2tog, k1.
Needle # 2: k1, skp, k to end of needle.
Needle # 3: k to last 3 sts., k2tog, k1.

Knit next round.
Repeat decreases until you have 5 sts remaining on each needle. Graft together, weave in ends.

Color Note
I used Redheart Super Saver in Peruvian Print, one skein of yarn for both socks. I wanted to make sure the white and gray specks were around the ankle, so I cut the yarn at the start of that section, then cut it again after 40 yards, I rewound it so the white/gray sections would be at the end of the ball. I did that twice ( there were only 2 of the white/gray sections of yarn on that skein ). I used the rest of the yarn as it was wound on the skein. So I did have one extra cut in the yarn just before the heel. I’m sure they would come looking good without this extra step.
