I CO 60 stitches on size 3 needles, then decreased to 56 after 12 rounds of ribbing.

Twenty rounds of SS before starting heel flap.

I did a reinforced heel, but I’ve stopped slipping the very first stitch on the first row. I did 28 rows for the heel flap (end on WS row). I used the Rose City Rollers pattern for shaping the heel - K16 stitches, SSK, K1, turn; P5, P2tog, P1, turn, etc.

I did 45 rounds after decreasing back to 56 stitches, then wedge toe decreases until 12 stitches remain. Finish with Kitchener stitch.

2/26 - First time wearing these & they could be a bit more snug. I’ll see how they fare in the washer/dryer, but probably won’t use a size 2 needle for socks for myself anymore.
