I tried to use a knitted CO, but found it much tighter than my LTCO. I need to practice the knit one, since I do like the way to looks.

I would like to add a little more length to the leg, but I think another 24 rows is too long at this gauge. I’ll remember next time to CO and knit the cuff on 2.5mm, and I should be fine with the extra repeat. I did work a 16 row cuff v. 12 rows per pattern. Helloooo…next time I will knit the leg as long as I like and then continue the heel in pattern. I don’t need no stinkin heel chart!
