Notes

This is the first pair of socks I made with this fantastic Opal pattern and it’s the best simple sock pattern ever!!!

1/13/23 - Have decided to redo the toes on these to make them foot shaped. That means that I’m using up some of the un-knit yarn. So originally, the socks used 312 yards of yarn.
Ripped back to 68 rounds from heel pickup
Knit 4 rounds
Decrease 2 on pinky side, then knit round (3x)
Decrease on both sides every round for 6 rounds
Kitchener stitched 24 sts (Finished 3/2/23)
