Still wrestling with...
... this sock pattern.

"Work in pattern as set until work measures appox. 3 inches less than length of foot. Proceed to gusset"

Top of foot or bottom? Where does the gusset begin?

Thanks again for your help.

I'm not an expert sock knitter but I would say bottom. I always interpreted it as 3 inches less than your foot to the back of your heel.

I found this picture that seems to illustrate where the gusset starts pretty well. I picture my gussets starting just about at my ankle bone.

Hope this helps!
