Notes

Wonderful pattern, particularly for one with “footballer’s legs”. Repeat easy to memorise.

May 26, 2021

Toe + setup = 4cm, 48 rounds until start of heel increases (24 rows = 6cm)

May 27, 2021

Oooops! Increased to 60 sts (not 56) for heel by mistake… (round 16) discovered halfway through the heel turn and unknitted back to beginning of turn and rejigged turn numbers. A longer, larger heel is no bad thing.

Started calf increases/larger needle on round 9 of repeat 4. Increase every 4th round until round 2 of repeat 5 then every 8th round to a panel of 25 sts.

May 29, 2021

Seven pattern repeats, 16 rounds of rib, the 84 sts ideally arranged to flow uninterrupted from the back panel and mid-front section. 61g / 256m for first sock.
