I worked the FLK heel over 32 sts.

I was lucky that the length of the pink stripe was just enough to complete the heel so I didn’t have to knit the heel with yarn from the other end of the ball and the heel didn’t screw up the stripes.

I usually knit the leg narrower than the foot because my ankle is 1” smaller than my foot but I didn’t do that this time, so these socks are baggy around the ankle and leg.

I initially knit these socks 8.75” long but they were too short so I re-knit them to be 9” long.

For the first sock toe I knit the foot 7” long then decreased every other rnd to 16 sts for a total of 24 decrease rnds.

For the second sock I knit the foot 7.25” long then I decreased every other rnd to 36 sts then every rnd to 8 sts for a total of 21 decrease rnds. I grafted the toe sts sideways for a mitten toe.
