Notes

Cuff over 56 stitches on 2.75mm
The Isager sock yarn has 40% alpaca. Knit at a bit looser gauge than I usual knit socks, but that lets the halo come out nicely. I will probably increase number of stitches before the Colorwork. And take a smaller needle for heels and foot, just to be on the safe side in terms of wear and durability.

Increased from 56 to 72 stitches before Colorwork.
Heel on 2.5mm needles

Finished. The yarn is a bit fluffy, I wonder how it holds up in socks.

These came out too small for my 17 year old nephew. Looks like his feet have grown a lot!
I first tried by just adding some foot lenght.
He then sent me a picture, which shows the problem is in the heel fit.
Guess I’ll have to do some re-knitting…

Mica socks came out too small/narrow for my 20year old nephew. So I reknit the feet, 40rows for the heelflap, and gusset decreases every 3th row. I hope to create more space on the upper foot doing so.
