Row 1: (WS) Sl1, 15[21], p2tog, p1, turn.
Row 2: Sl1, k4[6], ssk, k1, turn.
Row 3: Sl1, p5[7], (to 1 st before gap), p2tog, p1, turn.
Row 4: Sl1, k6[8], (to 1 st before gap), ssk, k1, turn.
Cont in this matter until 17[23] sts rem, ending with a RS row. Do not turn.

Note: When you come to the instep decreases at the end of rows 7 and 9 of the Instep Chart, make a central decrease by slipping 2 sts as if to knit, then slipping 1 more st knitwise and knitting these 3 sts tog tbl. Skip the decreases for row 1 and do them on row 2 of the Instep Chart instead (hence gusset shaping will take place on rows 2, 3, 5, 7 and 9 of the Instep Chart).
