Knit 16 stitches. Transfer remaining stitches from needle one onto needle 2 (instep needle).

Turn work and purl back the 16 stitches, then purl 16 more stitches from needle 3. Transfer
remaining stitches from needle 3 to needle 2. You should have 32 stitches on each of your two
remaining needles.
Row 1 (Right Side): *Slip one stitch purlwise, K1*.
Repeat from * to * across the heel flap.
Row 2 (Wrong Side): Slip the first stitch purlwise with the yarn in front,
purl the remaining stitches

Heel Gusset:
Knit across the remaining 18 stitches of the heel flap. Using the same needle, pick up and knit 16
stitches along the heel flap. Pick up an extra stitch in the corner to avoid a hole. This will be needle
one.

another 16 stitches along the edge of the heel flap, then using the same needle, knit across 9 stitches
