These socks are knit from the top-down with an interesting heel construction – a slipstitch heel that is worked in reverse of the heel in my toe-up sock pattern. If you don’t want to have to count the rows as you knit the heel flap or pick up gusset stitches along the flap, this is the heel for you: no counting rows, no picking up stitches.
