Notes

Each 12 colour repeat of the Mind the Gap striped yarn is approx 11.5g - 12g

  • From cuff to heel flap, you need 12 g so use the larger balls for cast on (light teal cuff). These balls end at the end of an orange stripe… (Ball 1). Use the last stripe (orange) as the first colour of the heel flap

  • Heel/heel flap take 3.5 g so you can use the smallest balls of the striped yarn for this (Ball 3). Each sock will have 1 diff heel/flap colour (3rd colour / turn of heel) re: remainder striped yarn. Cut the yarn from ball 3, as necessary, so that the gusset starts with the Heritage yarn. Then use 1 stripe, where you used up the teal on sock 1 (from one side of ball 3), to get yourself to where the rust striping ball (2) will begin to be used.

  • The foot to the toe decrease section
    takes 14g per sock. Each ball 2 has 8 grams of striped yarn. Use this
    first. After the mauve, but before the green, put in a stripe of Cascade navy. Then go back to the green and finish ball 2. Finish the socks with navy for toe dec section (start the decreases with the end of ball 2 / orange.

  • Toe (decrease section) 2.5g

On first sock did 3 Cascade Heritage navy stripes - at the start of the gusset, then after the mauve on the foot, then at the toe (last 18R). This took 6g of yarn in total, for the one sock, and I used also 23g of the striped remainder. 29g total for sock 1.

Do what you can to stripe match for sock 2, noting that your gusset will have 1 diff colour as will the foot (where the teal is placed, after the gusset, you’ll either need to find more teal (in the remaining ball 3) or use whatever works best from ball 3.

I have 47g left - enough for 23g per sock (and then make up the other ~4g per sock (~8g total) using the end of the Cascade Heritage navy colourway.

Note: In the end this took 6g per sock of the Cascade Heritage…
