Notes

I started out the cuff in the Large size. I decreased down to a small after 1 1/2 vertical repeat. I also made some stitch markers so I could keep R and L socks seperate. I also made 4 A and 4 B markers just to make it easier to keep track of the charts across the socks. I was afraid my brain wouldn’t be able to keep track of 2 socks and 4 charts so I took the easy way out. The toe has a bit of an alteration, because I was afraid of running out of yarn. I knit 2 repeats of the cable chart for the foot and then did stockinette with a P2, K2, P2, K1, P2, K2, P2 rib in the middle top of the toe. When I started the toe decreases I changed to a P2, K1, P2 rib to the end. Color of yarn is best in last photo.
