Notes

Long tail CO 88 sts on size 0s. 16 rounds 2 X 2 ribbing. St st after that. Don’t change to smaller needles. 8” then heel - 110 rounds. Work short rows to 16 sts between yos. Make foot for small men’s size - 72 rnds. Work toe as heel only do not make yos at beg of last two rows. Start white on toe on RS when there are 22 sts between yos.

Used a cream color to make sure I wouldn’t run out - nearly did anyway. The trekking was short.

Also, I skip the final yos on the toes and heels. On the heels, I pick up a stitch between the heel and top on each side and decrease it away on the next round.

~37,000 stitches
