C1 = ITW Pakokku Sock - Waiting in the Wings

Watch row 13, the pattern shifts.

Watch rows 1 and 9, the pattern shifts.

Finishes out the center triangle ready for the I-cord BO.
I-cord BO - C1
Usually I only go up 1 needle size when Romi says to go up 2 for this type of BO, but it felt tight, so I pulled it out and went up the 2 sizes Romi calls for.
Transition - C1
Did it in 2 steps. Pick up and count all of the YO from the edge. Then knit the row.
Clue 2
Chart D - C1, C2
Color 2!!!
This chart contains slipped stitches. Make sure your floats are not tight.
You will only ever use one color at a time.
The chart starts with C2.
You will add repeats on row 13.
Watch your center stitch. It is sometimes different.
Chart E - C1
Lace!
In the written, repeats are added on rows 5 and 7.
Clue 3
Chart F - C1
An extension of the lace in Chart E.
Chart G - C1, C2
Similar to Chart D.
In the written you will add repeats on rows 5, 11, and 15.
Watch the center stitches, they are not all the same.
Clue 4
Chart H - C2
On row 3 I found using repeat markers on every repeat especially handy to keep track of the repeats. After row 7 or so the pattern was established enough that I didn’t need most of them anymore.
For the written, repeats are added on rows 5, 13 and 15.
Clue 5
Chart I - C2
The rows are getting long.
Row 7 starts a shift in the pattern, and I kept catching myself missing half the YOs.
Chart J - C2
Row 5 is an increase row.
Row 6 is the BO.
Before the BO I had 19.5 grams left.
