Notes

Notes that I understand…maybe:
Magic CO 16
Increase until there is 72 stitches (36 on each needle)
Start 3x1 (3 knit, 1 purl) until short row heel. Short row heel: 12 stitches unworked for heel before increasing again.
Start cabling on the sides of sock every 10 rounds.
Continue knitting until there are 10 cables. Knit 5 more rounds Start increases-->increase on each side the middle rib section.
Do this until there are 112 stitches on needles (or 17 knit columns on back of the sock.) Knit for another 1.5-2 inches (or 19 rounds according to my needles).
Start cuff. K1 p1 front needle (front of sock) and knit 1 purl 1 for 32 sts into back of the sock. k2tog, purl 1, 8 times, then k3tog for a total of 102 sts. Knit 1 purl 1 for last 25 sts on sock. Continue working cuff to length (mine is 4.5”).

Discovered that I started the calf increases an inch off and only found the problem as I was three rounds away from casting off. I put the sock down for several months and finally picked it back up today to rip back 5+ inches.
