Sock 1 finished december 7.
Sock 2 finished december 11.

Gauge from pattern: 30 sts.
My gauge, washed: 27 sts/ 40 rows.
My socks are a bit looser than suggested in pattern. Since they were worked longer and with gusset one size up, they fit my husband perfectly after washing.

Notes:
My socks got quite long due to an unclear measurement direction before the heel (corrected now). This is extra obvious after washing, because the socks stretch in the length.
Tips before working the heel: I recommand to wash the sock when reaching 10 cm less than desired foot length. Measure and follow the direction for heel placement.

Yarn amount when starting:
Regia blue: 55 g (7+48)
Regia brown: 14 g (3+11)
Fabel green: 30 g
Fabel denim 10 g.

Leftovers after both socks:
Regia blue: 18 g
Regia brown: 2 g
Fabel green: 20 g
Fabel denim 4 g.

Used total:
Regia blue: 37 g
Regia brown: 12 g
Fabel green: 10 g (incl. gusset/ heel)
Fabel denim 6 g.

Chart repeat colors:
1 Blue
2 Blue + denim
3 Blue (gusset from rnd 11)
4 Blue + green (gusset ends at rnd 4, rnd 5 is Setup rnd with green, then heel). Gusset decreases finished after rnd 20 in chart.
5 Blue

Details:
Sock 1, used:
Regia brown: 3 g for toe. 3 g for 12-rnds-rib. 6g used for 1 sock.
Regia blue: used for chart 1, and for chart 2 together with Fabel denim (alternating every 2nd rnd, starting with new color). 47 g left after chart 2. 40 g left after heel/finished chart rnd 20 (15 g used). 35 g left after finished 1st sock. 20 g used for 1 sock.
Fabel green: 24 g left after heel/finished chart rnd 20. 6 g used for 1 sock.
Fabel denim: 6 g left after chart 2. 4 g used for 1 sock.

Sock 2, used:
Regia brown: 3 g for toe (8 g left). 5 g after 1st sock is finished.

Project notes:
-CO 8 sts (x2), then increased to 30 (x2) sts = size 2.
-Foot: 1 chart repeat used about 7 g. Blue: Possibly a bit less than 8 repeats total.
-Gusset started about 17 cm from toe (measured flat), at row 11 of 3rd chart repeat.
-Size 2, then gusset size 3, cuff size 3. Next time, I would make the socks shorter, and work all in size 2. The socks need negative ease.

Notes from Knit Companion:
Rnds:

Foot: 20 + 20 (2-colored denim) + 10 rnds before gusset. 17 cm unstretched, measured flat.
+10 more rnds, then add green. Last gusset row is row 4. Setup rnd: 5.
First foot chart rnd: 6.

  • Cuff: only 12 rnds rib.
  • Stretchy bind off.
