Notes

I knit the cuff and leg 6-1/2” long. They’re 3-1/4” wide.
They used 33.7g (134.1m/147y).

Eight repeats of the heel flap is about 2-7/8” long. I’ll try them on but it should be long enough.

I found a knot when you pick up the gusset and work needle 2 to start knitting in-the-round again on the ball that weighed 47.2g.

I decided to stop the toe decreases when I had 10 stitches left on each needle. My toes are slightly rounded so I didn’t want the sock toes to be too pointy for my feet.

The socks used 71.9g (286.2m/313.5y). Before blocking the leg is 9-1/4” long from the top to the bottom of the heel flap x 8” in circumference. The foot is 8-3/4” long x 8-1/4” in circumference. After blocking the leg is 8-3/4” long from the thigh to the bottom of the heel flap x 7-1/2” in circumference. The foot is 8-3/4” long x 8-1/2 in circumference.

There’s 10.5g + 10.6g = 21.1g left.


The balls weighed 47.2g and 47.3g.
