starting heel at 2nd half of round 1 of repeat 11
16st on either side of the increase markers

note to self: increases on odd rounds of pattern, should increase to 33st between markers

January 8, 2026

last round of increase section: round 4/repeat 18
33 st between markers
set up to do pattern on heel turn similar to size S
note: this did not leave an even number of repeats (ended with k1/p1)

January 9, 2026

heel turn short rows: 9 doubled stitches on each side (as for S/M), 15 stitches in the middle (as for L)

restart pattern to the left of the heel decreases with p1 to match at end of row (center stitch will eventually become a purl stitch - note for future reference, recalc pattern so that center stitch at end of decreases is a knit stitch)

January 11, 2026

Final decrease on 1/23 - attempted purled center double decrease

January 13, 2026

on pause pending test fit

for future math:

• foot/heel after round 4 of repeat 23 = 83gr remaining
• one repeat (1-4/24) of leg = ~1gr
• max gr that can be used for each leg: ~30-33gr

checked size - foot is correct, preferred leg height is 5” from 1/25

February 12, 2026

ended pattern with round 2 of repeat 42

Bound off after 13 rounds ribbing

67gr remaining

Waiting to weave in cuff ends until Shy has tried them on but otherwise considering these done!
