Finishing Christmas presents part 1

Today I'd like to finish the socks for my 4 year old.

I'm using my favorite basic sock pattern Classic Socks for the Family from Yankee Knitters Design.

The pattern is written for 5 different sizes and 3 different weights of yarn. We use this pattern to teach beginner socks at my LYS.

I changed the heel from a reinforced slip stitch heel flap, which looks like a ribbing, to one which looks more like woven fabric by alternating the slip stitches every right side row.

It would read like this:

Row 1: *Slip 1 st, K1*, repeat across row.

Row 2: Slip 1 st, purl across row.

Row 3: Slip 1 st, *Slip 1 st, K1*, repeat across row.

Row 4: Slip 1 st, purl across row.

(Stitches are slipped as if to purl.)

Repeat rows 1 - 4 until heel flap has desired length.
