Notes

Self-testing Riders of Rohan pattern.

Modifications and improvements:

  1. Rhombuses are worked on 36 sts, as I want to fit 37 size. Seems it’s going OK, but I need to catch the 37-size foot and try on it. Sock’s measurements (not blocked): Foot circumference - 19 cm Foot length - 22 cm

  2. I am using Shadow Wrap method for short rows. Looks nice and neat.

  3. Did not cut the yarn in Step 10. 20) instead of cutting yarn, I knitted in round 40 sts of Rhombus E to reach the right side of Rhombus F.

  4. Did not cut the yarn in Step 13. Instead of this, I grafted heel sts as described with spare end of the ball and knitted sts of multi-Rhombus F to reach right side of Rhombus G.

  5. Both top semi-rhombuses are made in stockinette, 1x1 rib cuff.

Final measurements:
Circumference - 21 cm
foot length - 23 cm
The sock fits 37 - 37,5 sizes best.
