Notes

Another pair from this terrific pattern. Very quick to knit and would have been done in a few days if I didn’t have to hide the work. Second time around and the short row toe and heel were a breeze to do.

Provisional crochet CO 18 st. onto 5.5 mm needles
Foot - 34 rounds (11.25 in. total tip of toe to back of heel)
Calf - 45 rounds (may be a little too long but I was trying to use up the grey marl)
Cuff - on 4.5 mm, 2 x 2 rib as follows:

  • white - knit first round, then 4 more rounds in 2x2
  • red - knit first round, then 1 more in 2x2
  • white - knit first round, then 2 more in 2x2

YO bind off as per pattern.

Re: Yarn
- Total for the white is less than 1 skein, but I used the end of 1 and the beginning of another, so I don’t know how much exactly.

UPDATE - soles/heels wore out in 2019, approx. 3 years’ wear.
