General
Will separate the red and the orange in the Zauberball and hopefully it will be enough orange for both socks.

Mods

  • 2.5mm needles for colourwork rounds, 2.25 for ribbing and plain stockinet rounds.
  • Cast on 72st knit ribbing 10 rows (c.2.5cm).
  • Knit 4 rounds instead of 8 between first and second decrease before the heel.
  • To keep the BOR on the inside of the left sock too knit the heel for that on the two previous needles i.e. started with a purl row.
  • Knit 30 heel flap rows, did not move BOR, picked up 16st for each gusset.
  • After gusset decreases knit 24 rows, increasing to 72 st over the last 3.
  • Used chart 2 (with a little tweaking) for both instep and sole.
  • Knit 4 plain rows after end of colourwork before starting toe decreases.
  • Decreased for toe every second round until 40 st left then every round until 8 left, cut yarn and pulled through remaining st.
