I cast on 40 stitches for the main body of the sock
Heal flap was 20 rows
Knit to last 9 stitches on the first 2 rows of heel turn before ssk, K1 or P2tog, P1. Then continued turn as per pattern linked above.
I reduced the stitch count to 40 again on the foot decreases.
On the toe I decreased to 8 stitches before Kitchener stitching.
