Notes

Using the same recipe as my April socks. Toe up, fleegle heel with the Vanilla Latte pattern. Trying to knit these two at a time.
Cast on 20 using Judy’s Magic cast on.
Abandoned knitting two at a time half way through knitting the foot. It was slower than knitting them one at a time and getting me very frustrated!
Increased to 64 stitches.
35 rounds to start of gusset.
27 rounds for leg.
9 rounds of 2x2 rib.
Used a modified Jeny’s Surprisingly Stretch bind off - only did the yarn overs on the purl stitches and did a normal bind off on the knit. This gives enough stretch without being too loose.
I love this colourway.
