Notes

General
Note to self: Should always start with 72 st for stranded socks and then decrease to 68 before starting the heel.

A Rust, B Purple, C White (The Rust is really more a light cinnamon in colour.)

Ribbing & plain stockinet with 2.25mm needle and colourwork with 2.5.

Using Grumperina's method for cabling without a cable needle.

TCKAL cast-on post: #43

Mods

  • cuff ribbing 12 r,
  • to have BOR on inside of each leg: left foot worked cabling on needle 2 and heel flap on needle 3 & 4 - first r on WS; right foot cable on needle 3 and heel flap on 1 & 2 - first r on RS,
  • leg 2 cable chart repeats,
  • heel flap 32 r in plain stockinet, knit first st and slip last on all r, slip stitch during heel turn and for another 18 r, knit picked up gusset st through the back loop on the first r,
  • foot 8 cable chart repeats + 1 setup r + 1 plain knit r before starting colourwork + 1 plain r after clourwork = 80 r total for foot,
  • toe decreased every other r until 40 st left then every r until 8 left, cut yarn and pulled through.
