Notes

These were a physically challenging knit. Requiring strong fingers and hands. But the pattern has certainly whet my interest in stacked stitches. I have a 9” foot circumference, but chose to knit the Small size on 2.5mm needles. They’re still a little big, so I could have dropped down to 2.25mm needles.

NEW TO ME SKILLS

  • Judy’s Magic Cast on
  • Whirlpool toe
  • Keel heel
  • Stacked stitches technique
  • Picot style bind-off

NOTES FOR MODERATORS

  • Team Beethoven
  • Size: Small
  • Needle size 2.5mm
  • Needle size 2.25 mm (for leg and cuff)
