Notes

Standard sock - Contrasting toes, heels, and cuffs.

Toes: Judy’s magic cast on (8 stitches), lifted increases every other row for a total of 60 stitches, speckled transition to main color.

Foot:
threw in a couple of 2x1 ribs on the sides and top of the foot to maintain negative ease - she likes her socks TIGHT.

Heel:
Short row heels with magic wraps.

Leg: did a color fade at the top as well, but had to frog it as the stranding was not stretchy enough to go over the heel.

The stripe up the side is worked after using duplicate stitch. This is because while it is possible to juggle two colors when knitting two at a time it is a royal pain in the @$$.

Cuffs: 2x2 ribbing for 3 inches or so - I like my ribbing to be the same size as my toes and heels when using contrast colors. It’s a sock Feng-shui thing
