Notes

Instruction is top down but I knitted toe up.

My toe up version:

  1. CO 4 sts

  2. Row 1: kfb(knit 1 front with white, knit 1 back with navy) 4 times. Knit as if you are making I-cord.

  3. Row 2-4: Start knitting in the round. Increase with kfb.

  4. Row 5-: Increase with lifted increase at the first st and 1 sts before the last st.

  5. Heel: use W&T. 12 wraps on both sides.

The last 3 rows before rib is too tight so I changed the number of dark color sts from 9 to 7.
