AND IT IS NOT! SO RELIEVED. Magic socks, FTW.

7 rows per inch.

cast on 36. 12 stitches on each needle. pattern repeats are 6 stitches. Work 3 pattern repeats for the leg.

Divide for heel. 18 stitches for the heel. knit until 2.5 inches long.

Turn heel. On knit side, knit till 2 past center stitch, k2tog, k1, turn. repeat until heel is turned.

Picked up 11 stitches along the heel flap.

Toe - decrease every third row until 16 stitches remain. 8 on top 8 on bottom. Graft Toe.
