Notes

  • My Gauge: 17 sts and 22 rounds = 2 inches

  • First time using Knit Picks yarn. =)

  • Long-tail cast-on

  • 3 inches ribbing + 20 pattern repeats = 10 inches.

  • 16 pattern repeats for foot (to fit size US Mens 8.5)

  • Toe ended up 2 inches long, NOT 2.5 as written in the pattern.

  • Finished foot length: 9 3/4 inches.

I modeled the socks for the pictures. They were a tad too big for me , but SO comfy! I didn’t want to take them off!
