Notes

Mods:

I adjusted the pattern from 64 stitches to 72 stitches by adding an extra stitch between stitches 6 and 7 and between stitches 10 and 11.

I couldn’t get the twisted garter edging right, so I did a ribbed cuff: @K3, (P2, K3) twice, K3 repeat from @ 3 more times

I didn’t like how the purl rows on stitches 6-7 and 10-11 looked with the yarn I’m using, so I changed the stitches to knit on round 3, but I left the purls in round 6.

Instead of doing the patterned wedge toe, I did a modified round toe:

K7, K2tog
Knit 3 rounds plain
K6, K2tog
Knit 3 rounds plain
K5, K2tog
Knit 3 rounds plain
K4, K2tog
Knit 3 rounds plain
K3, K2tog
Knit 2 rounds plain
K2, K2tog
Knit 1 round plain
K1, K2tog
K2tog
