Notes

Modifications:
Cast on 63 (her sock sizing seems too large)
I prefer size 0 for socks
Did two sets of blending rows (16 rows x 2)

k2p1 for 1 1/4”
Begin stockinette stitch & decrease 3 sts evenly (60 sts remain).
Knit to 2” total from cast-on.
next time will probably do 2 1/2”

Begin slip stitch heel flap.
30 rows heel stitch. Pick up 16 then return to 60 total.

3 rows after gusset done do 32 rows blending then 12 rows color b.
Blend color c (7”) for 12 rows.
Star toe at 7 3/4”

I didn’t use the ufowars sockblank (large ball in the photo) since it didn’t blend well, too much white.
