Notes

Going to attempt to knit these top-down.

CO 66 stitches. 2 circular needles. 36 stitches on one needle, 30 on the other.

Cuff - 15 rows of 3x3 ribbing

Leg - 8 pattern repeats

Heel - Standard sock heel

6/12/12 - These are feeling just a tad bit too loose for my liking. Debating whether I should go down to 60 stitches or purchase some Size 1.5 circulars.

Ended up going down to 60 stitches. Overall, the fit on the leg is pretty good. Tight - but not too tight. But a bit too loose around the toes.

Did 8 pattern repeats for the foot (including the gusset decreases), but I think next time I would do some decreases on the 8th repeat to shrink the toe area just by 4 stitches?
