Notes

A very enjoyable, well-presented pattern.

I have a high instep and wide toe box. This pattern fits the bill. The Fleegle heel is a proven winner. I have worked the star toe before in Christmas stockings but this is my first time using it in a wearable sock. It fits my wide toe box well. Looking forward to learning if I still enjoy the toe’s fit after wearing these socks all day this coming fall.

Used the 2nd option in this pinhole cast-on tutorial by Romi Hill. It is similar to stacked stitches and is less fiddly.

Added an extra round of stockinette toe color before switching to striped colorway for foot body.

Not much guidance given for cuff. Worked 2x2 rib for 24 rounds (1 7/8”), then worked simple stretchy bind off. (Worked 1st cuff BO 3 times. First SSBO flaired, JSSBO would not go over my high instep, went back to SSBO.)
