Notes

Made these for a 6’2” professor of bioengineering so kept the original number of stitches but used a 2mm needle. The helix really pops in this yarn. The design is genius!

I knit two at a time on magic loop until the heel section then separated them. The heel back and forth with charts 3A and 3B require some concentration and a post-it note on the chart to keep track, but do make sense once you get going. Put them back on the same magic loop once the gussets were done.

Good “baseball game on TV” knitting but not good “Korean drama with subtitles” knitting.
