Notes

General
First cable work ever. So much simpler than I’ve always feared it would be! Used Grumperina’s tutorial for cabling without a cable needle.

Mods

  • Made cuff 15 rows.
  • Made only 3 cable chart repeats before starting heel.
  • Knitted heel plain instead of eye-of-partridge.
  • Knitted the picked up stitches in the heel gusset through the back loop on the next round.
  • Made a total of 9 cable chart repeats + 1st row + 1 plain row before starting colourwork on foot.
  • For toe k2tog for 2 more rounds before cutting yarn and threading through remaining stitches.
