Allowable Modifications – You may add purls to the left hand side of the charts if you need to make a larger size.

You may carry the ribs down the toes if you would like.

You may convert the pattern to toe-up as long as you maintain the same structure and end with a row of “bubbles” right under the cuff, even if this means your leg is a little longer than written.

Minimum Requirements –

Minimum is the pattern as written.

For our competition minimum, we will be counting the “bubbles” going up the instep and leg. There should be at least five of them.

Cuff – Minimum 15 rounds

Leg – Minimum 1 repeats of leg chart plus rows 1-8 (creates three “bubbles”)

Foot – Minimum 1 full repeat of foot chart. Since you are beginning on Row 10 at the gusset, you should continue complete the chart, then work through at least Row 9. (creates two “bubbles”).

Toe may not be any longer than as written. (ie, if you need a longer foot, you need to keep working the pattern, even if minimum number of “bubbles” has been reached)

Pattern Notes –

Submission Photos –

For your email, please submit a photo of the front of your socks, clearly showing the repeats of the “bubble” pattern. We will be using this to confirm the correct number.

For your Finished Photo Thread submission, please submit two photos, one of the front and one of the back so we can confirm technique.
