Notes

Can’t get the cuffs over my heels on 2.25mm, so going up to 2.5mm needle.

Using tricosa’s method for jogless stripes.

Substituting with FLK heel:
Start mini-gusset after fifth lace pattern repeat.
Work lace only in front of the leg
Kfb at beginning and end of sole stitches in rows 1, 5, 9, 13
FLK on 2+1+10+10+10+1+2
Decreases in rows 5, 9, 13, 17

Keeping the BOR to the side, therefore not cutting yarn B

18 times 2-stripe sequence for the foot

Yarn left after sock 1: ball A - 30g, ball B - 37g, used 33g for one sock
