Notes

My very first colorwork socks! Wish me luck :)

Chart says there are 71 stitches, but really only has 70 - missing a #61 (corrected on download version).

Cuff Modifications

  1. cast on 70, knit 2x2 rib for 8 rounds
  2. worked rounds 15-20 of pattern (stripes)
  3. began pattern on row 1

Heel Flap Modifications (just striping)

  1. S1, (K1B, K1A), K1A
  2. S1, (P1A, P1B), P1B Heel Flap = 2-1/4”, picked up 18 stitches on each side.

Toe Modifications
1. Because of my small/short feet, I had to begin my decreases mid-way through the second flower. I didn’t want to interrupt the design, so I decreased from the sides.

If you like the indie-dyed yarn I’m using check out Green Ray Productions on Etsy. She also has fabulous vintage buttons.
