I like the way these look both while knitting and on my feet.

This pattern is not super stretchy, so you’ll want to try it on after one leg chart repeat to make sure you can get it on. (Don’t be like me and try it on after just the cuff ribbing.)

CO 64 sts
my foot is 8.5 inches but 72 sts was too big.

8 sts/inch on 2.25mm
8 sts/inch on 2.0mm
9sts/inch on 1.75mm
guess I’ll go with 2.0mm needles.
