Notes

Mods:
-Cast on 10 stitches onto two needles (20 stitches total) using Judy’s magic cast on.
-increased up to 36 total stitches.
-added many extra inches due to massive feet of the recipient. Knitted 7 inches before breaking for ankle hole.
-knitted on size 10.5 needles for better gauge.
-made the cuff in a contrast color with a smaller gauge by picking up almost twice as many stitches.
-instead of using m1L/m1R increases, I used the yarn over-knit through back loop method of increasing, which is less tight and therefore less noticeable than traditional increases on bulky yarn.

Glad I decided to do a contrast cuff in another color, because I had about a foot left of the gray yarn when I completed both feet (before cuffs). Huge feet!
