Notes

Size 11 o.O As I’ve never made such a large pair of socks before, I’m not sure if 100 g will be quite enough, so I’m using some leftover yarn for the toes and heels.

Cast on 24 sts, increase to 72 over 23 rows
Work 1 knit round in new colour before starting pattern (not counted)

Foot: 76 rows
Leg: 169 (counter not reset at heel)
Cuff: 14

As it turned out, 100 g would have been plenty :) I was a bit worried that the leg might be too snug, and wondered if i should have used a 2.5 mm needle, but having soaked them, they’ve gone on the sock blockers with no trouble, so I think they’ll be OK.
