Notes

I only cast on 66 sts so I’m going to use the 11 st chart right after the ribbing. I decided to do 1/2” of k1,p1 ribbing instead of the picot cast on.

The ribbing and 4 pattern repeats are 4” long. I tried them on and they’re tight to get on but fit well once on.

The ribbing and 6 reps of the pattern are 6” long. They used 32.1g. 65.9g left.

Needed to tweak the heel flap instructions. Fixed.

After working 34 rows on the heel flap it’s 2-1/2” long and isn’t quite square. I’m going to make it 2-3/4” long. I usually need that much for my high instep. I needed 38 rows to get to 2-3/4” long.

Needed to change the heel turn directions to have even numbers left over after working the rows. As written, you have 12 sts left after the first row, but only have 11 sts after the first purl row. The last purl row would have to end with p2tog, not p1 as written. Fixed.

Stitch count after Round 2 of the gusset should be 53, 33 sts, not 34 (these are the instep sts).

After 5 reps of the pattern the foot is 6-3/4” long. Now to work the toe.

After working the foot you’re supposed to knit one round. Instead, on both needles, I knit to the centre, k2tog, knit to end of needle, leaving me with 32 sts/needle instead of 33. 64 stitches total.

I worked the toe decreases every 2nd round until round 12, then only worked the decrease round from rounds 13 - 17, leaving 10 sts/needle to be grafted.

I’m finished! The socks used 71g (282.6g/309.6y).

Before blocking the sock from the top to the bottom of the heel flap is 8-1/4” long x 7” in circumference. The foot is 8–1/4” long x 7-1/4” in circumference.

After blocking the sock from the top to the bottom of the heel flap is 8” long x 7-1/8” in circumference. The foot is 8–1/4” long x 7-1/4” in circumference.


The balls weighed 49.1g and 48.9g. Total - 98g. There’s 13.5g and 13.g left - 27.1g total.
