Notes

Belated Christmas present.

New to me: Designer
New to me: long-tail tubular cast on - and I love it heart_eyes
New to me: FLK toe on cuff down, closed with three needle BO

The largest size would be too big, but for the comments on lacking stretchiness of the main pattern. However, I like smaller needles, so doing some adjustments.

  • ribbing on 2.25mm needles
  • 5cm ribbing
  • Evenly increase 8 stitches for one additional pattern repeat
  • leg on 2.5mm until stockinette Portion for FLK heel
  • assign additional pattern repeat to front of sock
  • 16.5cm length before stockinette portion of FLK
  • Stockinette portion for FLK: 2.5mm for front in patterning, 2.25mm in back (stockinette)
  • FLK heel with 3 additional stitches on each side, FLK over 1-12-12-12-1 stitches
  • Foot on 2.25mm
  • decrease to 80 stitches for foot
  • start FLK toe at about 20.5 cm total foot length (note: fabric will likely grow >1cm in length)
  • close on top with 3-needle BO on the inside

Apparently, they are a perfect fit!


note to self: washed leg at 15cm length, grew to 16cm
