Notes on gauge: As with all of the patterns in this book, with the aid of an included chart the pattern can be adjusted to your gauge, and desired finished measurements.

Heel and Toe variations: The pattern includes explicit instructions for both Top-down “Heel Flap”; style heel in either ‘Heel stitch with 3 stitch garter edge’; or ‘stockinette stitch with 3 stitch garter edge’. The Toe-up version can be constructed with an “Easy Toe” and “Heel-flap” or “Short-row” Heel.
