Notes

Excellent instructions and very helpful video. Recommend for beginners. No modifications except I went down one needle size for a dense fabric.I was still close to the required gauge, so I guess I was knitting fairly loosely and sizing down n the needles was a good choice.

Toe up, short row heel.
Provisional CO 16 st., increasing to a total of 32 st.

Sole - total 9.25 in.:

  • toe 20 r. as per pattern - 2.25 in.
  • main colour - 28 r. - 5 in.
  • heel - (half on sole) - 2 in.

Cuff (leg) - 31 r. - 5.75 in.

Ribbing - 2 in.
-White - 5 rows
-Red - 2 rows
-White - 2 rows
YO bind off as per pattern.

I am trying to use up the extra skeins of yarn I bought on sale for Christmas hats. I still have enough for a couple of hats or more socks.
