Once you have picked up the stitches, place marker.

All sizes
Rep rnds 2 and 3 for your size to shape the gusset.
Cont in this way, decreasing by two stitches at the
gusset on every other rnd until there are
44 [48:52:56:60:64:68:72] sts on the needle.
Once you have reached the required number of sts,
continue to knit each rnd until you reach
4 [4:4:5:5:5:5:5]cm; 1½ [1½:1½:2:2:2:2:2]in before the
desired length ready to start the toes. Don't be afraid
to try your sock on before decreasing for the toes.

Toes
Note: Whilst decreasing for the toes,if you are using
a short circular needle you may need to change back
to DPNs or use the magic loop method as the number
of stitches becomes too small for the circular. It's
up to you when you choose to do that,and how you
distribute the stitches across the needles; just keep
following the pattern as set below.
Create the toes as follows:
Rnd 1: K1, SSK, K16 [18:20:22:24:26:28:30] sts, K2tog,
K1, place marker (if required), K1, SSK,
K16 [18:20:22:24:26:28:30] sts, K2tog, K1.
40 [44:48:52:56:60:64:68] sts.
Rnd 2: K to end, slipping markers as you come
to them.
Rnd 3: K1, SSK, K to 3 sts before marker, K2tog, K1,
slip marker, K1, SSK, K to 3 sts before marker, K2tog,
K1. 36 [40:44:48:52:56:60:64] sts.
Rep rnds 2 and 3 until you have 20 [20:24:24:28:28:32:32]
sts left and divide these between two needles so that
front and back of socks match.
Graft toes using kitchener stitch, weave in all ends and
sew up the small gap at the cuff where you cast on.
