Notes

This gorgeous yarn was gifted to me by my awesome friend, Thea.

--Toe is the “Turbo Toes” from Clara Parkes Book of Socks.

--Stitch count is 64 stitches

--Rib pattern is k2, p2 for 2 rows followed by 2 rows of knit all stitches. Repeat.

--Heel is the garter heel used in the “Garter Toes” pattern by Karen Harper. However, due to the larger stitch count in my socks (hers are only 50 stitches) I followed the wrap & turn instructions until I had wrapped 12 stitches on each side of the needle leaving 8 stitches in the middle instead of the prescribed 5 stitches called for in the pattern.

--After completing turning the heel, I knit in garter pattern (alternating knit one row, purl one row) on the heel stitches for 6 rows. After this, the top of the sock was on a knit 2 rows portion of the rib pattern. So I also knit 2 rows on the heel. Then I started knitting in the rib pattern all the way around.
