Blogged here

  • MC starting weight is 57g
  • mini starting weight is 21g

68 sts on US 0 gives me a nice fit for this gauge of socks

Going to use Edible Thoughts Makes tutorial for a “Peekaboo cuff”

  • followed her instructions for a peekaboo cuff, then after closing the cuff, knit 20 rounds with MC for a shortie leg.

  • Knit slipped stitch heel flap over 34 sts. Knit until 20 sts in each slipped stitch column

  • Used this trusty heel turn calculator for a French heel over 68 sts.

  • Picked up 21 sts alongside each side of heel flap

  • Trying out decreasing every other row this time (vs my usual every third round when using US 0)

  • knit 50 rows for foot (49 in MC and one plain row in contrast heel yarn before beginning toe decreases per the Late Night Socks pattern (following instructions for medium size, even though I have a slightly different stitch count)
