Notes

The stated pattern gauge is impractical. I’m getting a close stitch gauge, but almost twice as many rows per inch.

NOTE: the heel turn instructions do not center the heel…it’s offset by 2 stitches, which then requires an uneven gusset decrease. You could solve this by working row 2 of the heel as (sl1, k3, ssk, k1) instead of the k5 she has.
Also, don’t learn the ssk from this video— it should be a left leaning decrease.

German Twisted cast on
13 rnds cuff
66 rnds leg
16 slip stitch rows in the heel flap, then pick up 16 gusset sts each side, plus one in each corner.
82 rnds foot
1 sock = 34g

First sock: knit staring from the ball, no color manipulation.
2nd sock: wound off 10g to use as contrast cuff/heel/toe
Didn’t cut the MC at the heel. Centered the heel turn.
