Notes

The well-fitting sock quest continues!
Cast on 64 stitches (US 1.5) and knit 2 inches of 1x1 rib
Increased 4 stitches (68 stitches) and worked 3x1 rib (k3, p1)
Working these socks inside out

24 st per 2” in 1x1 rib (48 st per 4”)
12 rows per 1” in 1x1 rib (48 rows per 4”)
22 st per 2” in 3x1 rib (44 st per 4”)
11 rows per 1” in 3x1 rib (22 rows per 4”)

After a long hibernation and then picking these up again and then knitting and ripping back a couple times because the fit wasn’t right, I’ve finally finished!

starting with 68 st
start decreasing for toe 4.75” after last gusset decrease (54 rows)
decrease to 28 st (14 st on each half of magic loop), right after decreasing to 28 st, graft

foot is 8 ¾” unblocked
2” cuff
5.5” from cuff to top of heel flap
heel flap just shy of 2”
