With RS facing you, sl first 13 sts onto a stitch holder for right half of heel; sl next 27 sts onto a stitch holder for instep; sl last 13 sts onto a dpn for left half of heel. Begin with fourth st, sl 4 sts from first needle, k last 4 sts from third needle to same needle with edges at the centre of needle. Needles should be parallel with one another. I recommend alternating your cast on with two stitches knitwise and two purlwise for the best-textured edge. Just want to keep it simple?
