40" circular needle, US1.5, 2.5mm.
Fingering weight yarn, I used Knit Picks Palette in Almond and Grass
Yarn needle
Gauge: 9 stitches and 12 rows = 1" in stockinette
CO 44 stitches. Join in the round, careful not to twist your stitches.
K2P2 for 3 1/2 inches. At some point during these rounds, you'll want to rearrange your stitches so that your yarn tail is in the middle of the stitches on one needle. This will eventually be your heel.
You should have 22 stitches on one needle, and 22 stitches on the cord (for the purpose of this pattern, we're using magic loop.)
K2P2 across the top needle, place on cord, ready to work heel stitches.
Slip 1, knit to last stitch.

Ready for a knit row, Slip 1, knit to one before gap, slip 1, lift bar from back with left needle, place onto right needle, and knit the slipped stitch and the bar together. Turn.
Slip 1, purl to one before gap, slip 1, lift bar from back with left needle, place onto right needle, and purl the slipped stitch and the bar together. Turn. Continue this until you've closed all gaps.
Working in full rounds again, your heel stitches will be worked in stockinette, your top stitches will continue on in K2P2 ribbing. Work for 2 3/4 inches.
Starting at the beginning of your top stitches,
K one round
K1, K2TOG, K to last 3 (on top needle), ssk, k1.
K1, K2tog, K to last 3 (on bottom needle), ssk, k1.
K one round
Repeat until you have 14 stitches on each needle. Use kitchener stitch to graft toe. Weave in ends. Repeat for second sock.
