Notes

General
Note to self: Why did I make heelflap 34 r?? I need 36 r with this kind of yarn!

Cuff+heel+toe: Ron, pattern: Aronia (CC) & Shockingly Pink (MC)

Using Grumperina's method for cabling without a cable needle.

Mods

  • cast on 72 st,
  • cuff 9 r with Ron,
  • leg knit 1 r with MC before starting chart, r 1-8 eight times + 1-3,
  • rearranged stitches in a different way than pattern before and after heelflap,
  • heelflap 34 r over 32 st (decreased 3 st on the first r) in plain stockinet with Ron, round heel,
  • picked up 19 st on each side for gussets (+ 2 on each side rearranged), decreased every third r until 32 st left on sole,
  • foot chart r 4-8 + 1-8 nine times + 1 r with Ron decreasing 1 st on the instep,
  • toe with Ron decreasing every third r until 28 st left then every r until 8 left, cut yarn and pulled through.
