Notes

Aug 29, 2025: I started this pair yesterday.

LTCO 68 sts on US 2 (2.75mm) needles. Transferred to US 1 (2.25mm_) and knit teh sock with it.
1x1 rib for 22 rows
Reduce sts to 66 on the 23rd row and to 64 on the 64th row.
Knit leg for 6.5” before heel.
I used a needle one size smaller for picking up the heel sts. Then transferred the sts to US 1 and knit the heel with it.
To keep the bands even on the heel, I had to break yarn and join a new color. I used this method by Earthtonesgirl to weave in the ends.

I did my usual toe - reduce 4 sts on alternate rows until half the sts remain; then reduce 4 sts on every row until 8 sts remain.

Cuff: 3cm
Cuff to the start of the heel:
Cuff to bottom of heel: 19.5cm
Heel to beg of toe decreases: 19cm
Toe: 4cm
Heel to Toe: 23cm
Width at foot section: 9cm
