Notes

Dyed this yarn ages ago with discount Easter Egg colors. I call this one Pumpkin Berry Salad (or Acid Laced Tang, for the PG-13 crowd).

This has become my go-to pattern for socks and I can pretty much knit it on autopilot.

Mods:
Slipped stitch heel- kept all 32 stitches on back needle to work heel.
Turn row- Sl1, k16, ssk, k1, turn.
Next row- Sl1, p5, p2tog, p1, turn. Etc, etc, etc.
Pick up 19 stitches on each side for gusset.
Toe decreases- work as usual to 18 stitches on each needle, then decrease every row until 12 stitches remain per needle.
