GHFSS Socks

I wanted to put out a pattern for a square heel for those that love to knit striped socks but prefer the way a heel flap and gusset fits. This type of heel uses a square turn and will disrupt the stripes less then a triangle heel turn does, because the gusset isn’t as deep. This is a **G**ood **H**eel **F**or **S**elf-**S**triping **Socks**, but totally a good heel for all socks. This sock is knit from the top down on magic loop. Needle 1 is the front of leg and top of foot, needle 2 is the back of leg, heel and bottom of foot. It has a heel flap, square heel turn, gusset and a wedge toe.
