My gauge was larger than the pattern’s.

I cast on 60 sts for the leg instead of 64 sts for a 7.5” circumference.

I knit the leg 6” long instead of 7” long.

I increased to 64 sts on the last rnd of the leg before starting the heel for an 8” foot circumference.

I knit the foot 7.375” long before starting the toe shaping for a finished foot length of 9”.

I knit 5.25” even after the heel so I could complete the pink stripe. I knit one rnd in white before starting the toe shaping.

The white yarn was a gift from my grandmother-in-law.
