Notes

Have more of this yarn left so going to try these flip flop socks.
CO 66 on 2.50mm dpn’s and have started the cuff.Easy pattern to remember, all going well so far, hoping to get them finished sooner rather than later - but there’s a lot on needles with me at the mo’ ;)
Tried the pattern’s short row heel 3 times but I couldn’t get a neat finish with it so have altered it to a heel flap ( the heel turn short rows took me an age to work out - there must be a formula for this?) After the heel turn and gusset all back to as before and going well and everything seems to have worked out correctly phew!!
Next is the split toe, hope I can work it out open_mouth
All finished,they feel strange but comfy enough.Will wear them for a while to see how I get on with them and, if not, I’ll alter the toe box to standard style :)
The pattern’s stitch count is off for the toe section in the large size, out by 3sts. I used 32 sts(after co) for the big toe and 44 sts. for the rest and I went down a needle size.
