Notes

Super happy with how this turned out. I really love this pattern. Straightforward and simple but very feminine and elegant without being too frilly. I see more of these in my future!

5g Malabrigo Sock for beaded picot edging

I started with a generous skein of Twinkle Toes ~ if it had actually been 100g I would have only made it by a hair.

This can easily be a one skein project - this sock yarn is on the low side on yardage, but I am SO glad I used it. I love the way the colors played out in the pattern. True color is a tiny touch deeper and greener than the photos show.

2/28 Knitting complete! Wet blocked out to about 18” x 66” (the 66 was harder to ascertain so it might not be very accurate, it’s definitely not shorter than that). Blocked this very aggressively, hopefully it won’t spring back too much when it’s dry…
Pre-blocking measurements: 9” x 49”
3/1 Final dry measurements 16.5 x 66”
