Notes

I chose a thinner yarn and smaller needles than those called for in the pattern. The pattern claims that it will make a sock with a midfoot size of 8.5”. I like my socks closer to 7.5”.

The Peruvian Sock yarn is smooth and shiny. I’m really enjoying it so far. I’m not splitting it anymore than I split any other yarn, but it is a bit easier to fix when I do miss a ply.
