Notes

Knitting these concurrently on two separate 9” circulars, so I wound up my yarn into two separate cakes.

Starting with 22.6g CC
and about 27g x2 balls of MC

Planning to use CC for a “pop of color” at the top of the cuff, the heel flaps, and maybe the toes.

CO 60 sts

Leg for about 31 rows, but not counting exactly, just lining up with the striping sequence.
Heel flap over 30 sts
Knit until 15 sts in each sl st column (knitting entire first RS row for a cleaner transition)
Pick up 17 sts along each side of heel flap and begin gusset dec every other row
45 rounds plain st st in MC (ending after a stripe), one plain round st st in CC for toe, then begin toe dec.
(for toe, BOR was at right side of sock, not at the bottom of foot, like I usually do).
Toe dec every other round for 6 sets, then every round until 24 sts total remain.
Kitchener toe.
