Notes

…and why the heck not? Initially cast on as a pair of socks for Mom, but after deciding that the colorway was quite handsome and Dad-friendly, decided to finish them up with him in mind. Tested on my husband for man-foot-compatibility, and everything checked out.

Dad’s feet are Size 10.5 US. Knit the second size entirely on US 2 needles, then extended the foot length to 10”. The yarn is super-stretchy and should comfortably accommodate Dad. My skinny-footed husband (Size 8.5/9) modeled these, and assured me that there was room to spare.

This is my fourth pair of Fika to date. :)
