Notes

Zephyr: 128.0g, 66g left = 62.0g used
Jelly: 125.5g, 63.9g left = 61.6g used

Used Judy’s Magic Cast On.

Tried 9” circulars and magic loop, but prefer using Addi Flexiflips.

Measured 9” for my foot so I started with the M size, but after sticking it on my foot, consulting with a prolific sock knitter, and knowing how much brioche can expand after blocking, I need to do the Small size. Will frog and start over.

Knit 7.5” from tip of toe before starting heel.

Making the small size but doing rounds 5 & 6 to 34 sts for the leg.

Fits perfectly! Very well-written pattern! My first sock! Love it!

Yes, I shot photos of them on my right foot. Apparently easier to take a photo of my right foot than my left.
