Starting from the toe: I cast on 12 and increased to 64. The toe is stockinette. The foot, like the “pattern” says, is garter on top and stockinette on the bottom. On the short-row heel I left only four stitches unwrapped, so the heel is a little pointy, but it will round out with wear. The first green stripe after the heel, I maintained the foot pattern of garter on the front and stockinette on the back for the first six rows; for the last four rows of that stripe, I switched to garter all the way around, and the leg is garter all the way up to the cuff, which is 1x1 rib.

The numbers in parentheses are the numbers of rows I actually did on those stripes. The sock is a half-scale scarf pattern, like I said, and where halving the row counts gave me an odd number I rounded down to keep the color changes invisible (because after all, socks, unlike scarves, have an inside). I used Brown Sheep Nature Spun in fingering weight and size 1 (US) needles, and I get 9 st/13 rows/inch in stockinette. The foot fits a size 9 1/2 foot and would probably stretch to fit size 10 if you didn’t want to make changes. The leg doesn’t really fit all the way around my calf, but my calves are on the sturdy/athletic side; Ellen’s legs are skinnier and the socks fit her fine, but take that into account if you’re making some for yourself. At this gauge, you want the legs going in the socks to be about 12” around at the widest point, is my guess. (Mine are 15”, and no dice. The model picture with only one leg in it is of another friend whose legs are in between Ellen’s and mine w/r/t calf circumference, and they fit her okay, so use your judgement.)
