Notes

Since I’ve got two sets of 2.5mm DPNs I’m knitting these in parallell.

Mods: I’m skipping the last band on the foot chart, they’re long enough for me without it.
Instead of grafting the remaining stitches I decreased one more time, cut the yarn and threaded it through the remaining 8 stitches.

Issues: I really don’t like patterns that presume everyone uses the same needle setup when they knit socks!

I like the heel a lot, it’s very comfy, but the pattern is a quite boring to knit and I probably shouldn’t have used a yarn with such a pronounced striping.

I also really dislike the way the stripes on the heel gusset turned out. Even with the mods recommended here they still look sloppy.

One skein of MC was not enough. Had to knit most of the toes with CC.
