Notes

Quidditch turn in - 39 points

Cast on with German Twisted and US Size 5. Work leg with US Size 1 and the pattern, after that, shifted to plain knitting and a standard heel flap and gusset. Worked foot with Size 0. Probably should have worked the heel flap and gusset in 0s, also. 76 around the leg is not too loose, because of the stitch pattern. I do reduce the foot down to 64, but could have maybe done 62. Not sure if I want to do this on the second sock. We’ll see.

I did work the 2nd sock by reducing to 64 around, before starting the heel flap. And worked the flap and forward in Size 0. It made for a much better fitting sock. I think I will rip the foot and heel of the first and reknit in this manner.
