Notes

My dad loves this socks. Oh, that’s such a relief!Used heavy DK weight yarn, 3.0 mm needles and 64 sts co to receive bulky and super-warm winter socks for european size 42.

I believe one single chart would work better for me than three pages of written instructions, but it’s just my oppinion.

Magic loop two-at-a-time cuff-down. Cabling without cable needle.

The project went really fast because of heavy yarn and nice pattern. I just love when each pattern row needs attention and there are no “wrong side rows” knitted plain stockinette.

Unfortunately this pattern doesn’t allow to knit both legs of these socks at a time on one circular needle because of the Row 17, where the last stitch is travelling.
So I knitted down to the row 16, separate the socks on different circular needles and continued them separately until the end of the gusset. After that I placed both socks again on one Addi 3.0mm circular needle and knitted them till the end.
