After much needle wrangling, I settled on 7 dpns as the easiest way to work foot shaping and hold stitches while toe was being worked, reducing down to 5 dpns for cuff.

Pattern mods : Either side of EOR K3 stitches and thrummed the heels.

This is a great pattern, will be making more of these for Christmas.

Commercial combed top used - brown undyed Jacobs, orange and yellow corridale. (if UK based, I ordered from world of wool)

Yarn used - Artesano aran that had already been used for other projects - so was unsure of meterage, hence change for cuffs.
