Notes

I have been knitting a few pairs in this yarn using this pattern. This time I am reversing the pattern, starting on the toes, casting on 8 stitches then increasing to 56 (it should be 52, but my husband has a wide foot). Using the FLK heel construction, because that’s the best fit for my husband.
Knitting socks on US# 3 needles is SO quick!
