NOTES

• These socks are worked in the round from the cuff down with a heel flap and gusset.

• The rounds gauge is important so that there is enough length on the foot to finish the Instep chart before the toe shaping begins.

• The charts are worked using the stranded method. Always pick up the background color over the pattern color and pick up the pattern color from under the background color. Keep floats loose. For floats longer than four stitches, tack stranded yarn on the wrong side of the work.
