Using a free needle pick up 16 sts from the left end of the heel flap + 1 st from between the flap and needle II. Using the left-hand sole needle knit the picked-up sts through the back loop. On needles II and III follow the cable pattern as established. Using the right-hand sole needle pick up 16 sts from the right end + 1 st from between needle III and the heel flap. Knit the picked-up sts through the back loop and knit the heel flap sts. Keep working stockinette st on needles I and IV and the cable pattern on the instep.
At the same time begin gusset decreases: at the end of needle I, k2tog; at the beginning of needle IV, skp. Repeat the decreases every other round until 16 sts remain on needles I and IV. Work until the foot measures approx. 20 cm or until the sock covers your fifth toe.

Knit the sts on needle I. Divide the sts onto two needles, 12 sts sole + 12 sts instep.
Graft the sts together: align the needles, with the right sides facing each other and the working yarn coming from the sole. Insert the needle and yarn purlwise in the st on the front needle and then knitwise in the st on the back needle. Pull tightly.
