Notes

My very first attempt at a pair of socks! Quite chuffed! The pattern is well written with photos to explain. I cast on with straight needles as suggested (3.0mm) and then changed to Addi Sock Wonder Fixed Circular Knitting Needles - 25cm (2.50mm). My first attempt at continental knitting too. Stitches look a little uneven in places as I’m used to knitting the conventional way.

Also kept a small crochet hook at hand as I kept dropping stitches.

Cast on 60 stitches
16 Rows Rib
75 Rows total to Heel
Heel 2 1/4 inches (35 Rows)
35 Rows to toe decrease
