Notes

Cast on 68 and knit 6 sts instead of 7 in the zigzag pattern.

I forgot to go down a needle size on the cuff and now it isn’t tight enough to stay up. disappointed

I bought this yarn because it reminded me of the monsters from Sesame Street (Big Bird, Cookie Monster, Oscar the Grouch, and Elmo).

Originally I was doing a vanilla sock but I have so many striped vanilla socks and thought Jaywalker would suit this yarn, and I should leave vanilla socks for smaller striping yarn as I prefer thicker stripes with this pattern. The stripes in this yarn are 3 stitches high for my foot size.

Plus I really like working on this pattern as it has just enough paying attention to not become boring yet also easy to memorize and knit while watching tv.
