Notes

Got the yarn for my birthday in 2025 and finally I am going to use it for socks for ME!

The self striping is so much fun in the cuff already, can’t wait to start the pattern.

Did 60 stitches, i.e. 15 per needle, which means I will add one knit stitch at the start of each pattern repeat, so there are 3 instead of just 2 stitches between each pattern repeat.

Last time, I did 9 repeats for the leg, 16 repeats for foot.
Added toe color in at the last knit round of the 16th repeat.

Might do 10 repeats again for the leg… The pink-teal pair looks somewhat shortish on the photo and the one I did with 10 repeats was with 2.5 mm needles, not 2.25 mm which I use this time.

Finished first 5 pattern repeats, really like it. However, it would look even better with clearer stripes, but the colors make up for that, I think…

Cannot wait to wear these!

Decided to start the heel flap after the 11th eyelet which I only work on the front, will start the flap after the first stockinette round on that eyelet.

October 24, 2026

Started toe after 16 eylets for the foot plus 3 stockinette rounds.

Did 4 stitches decrease on each side to get to 56 stitches in the first round after this, then starting the umbrella toe decreases for the smallest size.

Finished first sock, love how it looks in this yarn.
So now immediately cast on for sock no 2.

Finished and I love them! Love the colors, love the pattern and love to wear them! I just kept them on my feet after taking the photos which is great on a very grey and rainy day like today.
