Notes

General
angry scream With 72 (and 56) st the lace pattern doesn’t work out evenly so if you want to knit the soles in stockinet as normal you have to start the heelflap 2 st before BOR and on the instep knit 2 st plain on each side of lace repeats. The pattern doesn’t mention this anywhere!!!

MC Petrol, CC1 Weasely, CC2 Orange, CC3 Sultan, CC 4 Lichfield

Each stripe uses 3g or a little less.

Using 2.5mm needles for the cuff and first lace repeat, 2.25 for the rest.

TCKAL cast-on post: #283

Mods

  • cuff 12 r,
  • leg (CC 1 r knit & 12 r lace + MC 1 r knit & 2 purl) four times,
  • heelflap 34 r stockinet decreasing 2 st on the second r and 2 on the twelfth, round heel,
  • picked up 20+1 st on each side for gussets and decreased every second r until 36 st left on sole,
  • instep 16-row pattern repeat as above five times + 6 r stockinet with MC,
  • toe decreased every second r until 28 st left then every r until 8 left,
