The pattern is cuff down but I’ll make ‘em toe up. Use 2.25mm needles for foot and 2.5mm for the leg and cuff.

I used the “add beads as you go” method rather than the “thread all the beads at once” as well as inverted the socks to start toe up.

I of course found this was problematic as the pattern used two stitches between the cables and two purl stitches between each pattern and it would have been better to have had say three stitches.

So my pattern ended up looking a bit different but just as pretty.

AND I think I do prefer the “add as you go” method. I used a short length of what is called ‘tigertail’ it was very successful in execution and finished look of the bead work.
