I simplified this pattern by reducing the number of stitches, using larger needles, omitting the side panels & the arched sole, and shortening the leg. Whew! I used a short row heel and round toe. I’m so pleased with the result!

The two bottom pictures are pre-blocking. Although I didn’t test for colorfastness before beginning it happily turned out that this yarn is colorfast in the machine on a cold setting (85^oF) with Cheer BrightClean. Also, the yarn bloomed and softened tremendously after machine washing.
