Notes

The plaid effect isn’t what I was hoping for. It would’ve worked better had the horizontal stripes been 1-2 rounds in width and not 3-4 as with my yarn. Ah well.

The surface crocheting is ermm, cumbersome. Used only for two stripes, then switched to tapestry needle - the look is better, but the amount of time it still took - I’ll think twice before attempting anything similar in future.

TAAT.
Magic loop.
Star toe.
72sts circumference.
Purl columns: 4th, 10th, 16th, 21st, 27th, 33rd.
FLK heel.
JSSBO.

7 grams of Cardamon for the toes
7 grams for the heels
8 grams for the cuffs

2 grams of each - Cardamon, Butterscotch and Blackcurrant Bomb for the stripes.
