Notes

I love the Old Norwegian Cast-on - it looks really fabulous with the 2x2 rib. The short-row heel fits perfectly, but husband didn’t want a seam on instep, so I substituted a standard toe for the short-row toe in the pattern. The Austermann Step with jojoba and aloe vera feels wonderful and is nice and squishy.
