Notes

MC - Beige
CC1 - Camel
CC2 - Acid Green (confirm that the one you’re using is the one shown in the yarns used)

CO 60 st

Leg:
20R 2x2 rib MC
11R MC
5R CC1
5R CC2
5R CC1
29R MC (6” leg)

Note that I worked the 29R from the marker in the stitch that’s one below the final “v” of CC1 - before reintroducing the MC (it’s actually 2 below once you start knitting because of how the final row of the second CC1 stripe only becomes visible when you start knitting with the new/MC. Also, I don’t count the row into which I’ve put the stitch marker. If I just count the MC “v”s (after finishing the third stripe), then it looks like 27R.

FLK heel - 11 / 8 / 11 - CC1

Foot: Knit foot to 5.5” from back of heel. This should take about 63-68R depending on your gauge… In this instance, it took 67R…

Then work 5R of either CC1 or CC2 to get to 5.75” from back of heel - an extra 0.25”

Toe CC1 or CC2 to work the heel.

KristinM100's adjectives for this yarn
  1. I'll never work with this yarn again - it's awful.
  2. Absurdly splitty and hairy in an unpleasant way
  3. I wonder if it comes with spinning grease on it given the weird lotion-y hand,
