A nice tutorial on picking up gusset stitches on a flap and gusset sock heel … using a crochet hook:

Includes picking up an extra stitch at the corners to prevent holes.

This is a very neat method and that extra stitch is well done too. Thank you!

Good video but I prefer skipping the picking up of stitches. Increasing done for the gusset while working in the round, heel turn, decrease the gusset stitches on the foot or leg depending on if you’re working, toe up or cuff down. It works either direction.

A different spot in which to pick up an extra stitch at the corner of the gusset:

This is how I was doing it until I came across the method I posted first in this thread. Both seem to work well.
