Notes

This is my first pair of socks! I’m following the Winwick Mum Sock-a-long and excited to be using this gorgeous Countess Ablaze sock yarn, which my sister gifted me for my birthday heart

  • 6 Sep 2018 - Finished! Woven the ends in but no blocking yet because I want to wear them! The sock-a-long was so helpful and I feel like I have a good grasp on how top down socks work. Keen to try some toe-up socks with afterthought heel next

…

Foot measurements for sock
C/O 60 stitches
My gauge: 8.5 stitches per inch (US 2)
60 stitches / 8.5 stitches per inch = 7 inch sock circumference
My measured foot circumference: 8 inches
