2 Socks 1 Long Circular - Gusset
After turning the heel and reorienting the socks, you start knitting the gusset.
Take a look at the picture. This is what you should have after turning the heel and repositioning the stitches. Couple of things to note:
Sock A - Knit heel stitches to 3 stitches before marker - k2tog, k1. Slip marker. Knit instep stitches to end.
Repeat for Sock B.
(Round 1) Return to home position:
Sock B - Knit instep stitches to marker. Slip marker. K1, SSK. Knit heel stitches to end.
Repeat for Sock A.
(Round 2) Knit one plain round.
Keep decreasing every other round until you reach the number of stitches the pattern calls for. Then keep knitting in pattern until you reach the toe.
Take a look at the picture. This is what you should have after turning the heel and repositioning the stitches. Couple of things to note:
- I've placed an orange marker to mark the starting position of this new orientation.
- All the markers that you placed (black) while turning the heel and repositioning the stitches are the spots where you will perform gusset decreases - k2tog and ssk.
