2 balls of grey (#1053) in Sandnesgarn Perfect (50g/100m) (if making a size larger than a women's 10, you will need a 3rd ball of grey)
3.25mm double pointed needles
darning needle
Fits approximately an 8.5" ankle
Leg:
With off-white, cast on 48 sts. Work K3, P1 ribbing for 4 rounds. Do not cut off-white yarn.
Maintaining ribbing, work 3 rounds of red. Cut red yarn.
Loosely carrying off-white yarn up, work 7 more rounds of ribbing in off-white. Cut off-white yarn.
Join grey yarn. Work ribbing in grey until leg is desired length. Sample measures 7.5" from cast on edge to start of heel. Cut grey yarn.
Heel Flap: Start off-white here

Work these two rows, ending with a WS row, until heel flap is as long as it is wide.
