Materials:
4 oz worsted weight yarn (I used Lyon Brand-Woolese Yarn.)
Size 6 needles  (10" ones are nice, but I used double pointed ones with stoppers on the ends.)

Starting at the top/cuff of sock: 
Cast on 48 stitches and rib (Knit 1, Purl 1) for 7-8 inches
Bind off 12 stitches, knit 24 stitches, bind off remaining 12 stitches and cut  the yarn.

Top of foot:  Re-attach yarn and work on the remaining 24 stitches until this section measures 6-7 inches in length (depending on foot length).
Shape toe:  Decrease by knitting two stitches together at the beginning and end of each row until 12 stitches remain.  Immediately begin increasing one stitch at the beginning and end of each row until the stitch count is back to 24.
Bottom of foot:  continue working on the 24 stitches until this section is the same length as the top of the foot.
Shape Heel:  Decrease by knitting two stitches together at the beginning and end of each row until 12 stitches remain.  Immediately begin increasing one stitch at the beginning and end of each row until the stitch count is back to 24.
Bind off.

This looks very strange but it works--trust me!  It is a sock - seam the back center of the ribbing. Sew up the "angles" on both heel and toe.  Sew the heel to the bottom of the ribbing and seam both sides of the foot.
- Make 2nd sock to match first.  They are really warm and cozy!
