Notes

Christmas present for my boyfriend, who has massive US13 feet.

And I wanted something dense and warm, so I’m using super bulky on 10 & 11 needles.

As I learned from the Chinook gloves, it’s best to do colorwork on a larger needle than what you do in single-color-stockinette since you naturally pull tighter when stranding. The jump from 10 to 11 may seem big, but I knit tightly and the gauge/stretchiness turned out perfect.
