Notes

Knit these using magic loop so that I could try them on as I went and made sure that they fit.

Added length to the sock to make them knee-height by adding extra rows to sections 4, 6 and 7 of the Right Leg Chart and to sections 2, 4 and 6 of the Left Leg Chart.

For pink polka-dot section of Left Leg, made dots every six sts every other row instead of following pattern chart, which was very random with every row being different.

Added one plain row in MC (black) when picking up stitches for gusset instead of trying to begin gusset in pattern.

Amount of each color used:
He’ll Only Wear Black Socks (black) -- 58g
Rose Gold (light pink) -- 6g
Blonde Roast (brown) -- 11g
Berry Stomp (bright pink) -- 13g
Ryan Yeyow (yellow) -- 4g
Unicorns of the Sea (blue) -- 14g

First sock cast on October 31 & cast off December 25. Second sock made in 2025. Knit six rows per day on each sock and eventually they got done!
