Notes

Gauge:

  • 32 sts x 44 rnds = 4” in rib
  • 28 sts x 44 rnds = 4” in stockinette

This is my fourth time using this pattern but the first time I used it to make a pair of socks for myself! A woman’s sock works up much more quickly than a man’s sock with a foot length of 10”…

I used the German Twisted Cast On. This was my first time using it and I am very happy with the results.

The two balls of yarn started the stripe pattern in different places. I decided to go with it and I like the mismatched look.

I knit the pattern as written for the Women’s S except I knit the leg for 6” instead of 6.5” and I knit the foot for 7” instead of 6.5” for a total foot length of 9”.
