Worked once after the instep chart of (toe-up) Semki, two repeats of each row for a round. Replaces half the pattern with flat knitting for more give in the leg.

The last row of the instep chart started with a double increase, forming the middle of the back leg. This chart actually starts with the p1 before that. The start of round 4 is a good place to shuffle the stitches so that each side of your sock starts in the middle of the knit panel, say around stitch 3 or 4 of row 3.

Use the twisted increases and decreases from semki, not the ones available here.

Shown with a cast-on count of 44 stitches.   Getting chart...
