Notes

pattern is written for 64 st cast on, modifying for 72 sts by adding k1tbl, p1 on each end of each needle (magic loop)

05-06-2016

26 rows for heel, picked up 15 sts along heel sides. Reduced to 70 sts at gusset, 37 on instep & 33 on sole. This will allow the pattern to stay exactly centered at the toe. I will take one stitch from each end of instep needle and move to sole for toe for 35sts on each needle

07-06-2016

I decided to do a twisted rib toe to match the heel. Began grafting when there were 30 total stitches

07-06-2016

I keep forgetting not to use Stroll with these twisted stitch patterns. It fuzzes up so much.
