After about 4 inches I decreased to 72 stitches. I’ve had him trying them on to make sure. 72 stitches has worked for other socks, but 80 stitches means they can be a bit taller.

Heel is in blue. I may need both a stripe around the foot and the toe in blue in order not to run out of the multicolor yarn. Weighing as I go in order to see if I’ll need the blue stripe.

He nixed the blue stripe, preferring the blue heel yarn to just start early--before the heel decreases. I used up every last bit of the Twist Fiber yarn and the rest of the first 50 g ball of the Fabel. Started in on the second 50 g ball to finish the socks. All that’s left now is weaving in ends and washing.

I love how it turns out. A nice puffy rib stitch.
