Notes

I love the colors in this yarn so much!! One of my three (so far) all-time favorites to knit. And soft…it’s probably too soft for “real” socks, especially at this gauge, so these may become housesocks. Very luxurious housesocks.

co 40, sz 8. knit sz 5.
experimenting with edge pattern from Waving Lace; rows 1-12. (eta: total waste of effort - you can tell something is going on at the cuff, but the stitch pattern is invisible.)

Leg: 47 rows stockinette.

Heel: 20 st slipstitch heel flap, 26rows

Turn: k12, ssk, k1, turn; sl1, p5, p2tog, p1, turn.

Toe: decrease every other row til 20 st, then every row til 12; graft.
