Notes

The pattern biases the sock so a marker would be useful to keep track of where the start of the row is!

The pattern in Nutkin is actually quite easy, once you realise that if you use 4 needles, each needle begins and ends with a P1, then the first row is p1 yo, k3, ssk, k to the last stitch p1, then each subsequent row is knit to the yo, k the yo, yo, k3 ssk, k to last stitch p1 and once the ssk reaches the p1 you start the pattern again, You do that 8 times for the cuff, and I found I only had to do it 5 or 6 times for the foot. The only changes I’d consider would possibly be the toe, I grafted the stitches top and bottom rather than doing the three needle bindoff as suggested, but that’s grafting 32 stitches to 32 stitches which is a fair bit of grafting (I actually used it as an exercise to practice TechKnitters grafting without a sewing needle) but you could substitute another toe for it (you may have to knit a few rows to get to the length)
