NOTES
I decided to use the argyle pattern from this cuff down sock pattern to fulfill the theme for this month’s sock bash challenge: a new technique.
Modifications
Switched to Toe Up vs. Cuff down
Judy’s Magic Cast On - (My favorite vanilla toe shape for my foot) 8 stitches each needle (16 total); Round 1: knit; Round 2: K1, M1R, Knit until 2 stitches, M1L, K1 (both needles); Round 3: knit - Repeat rounds 2 & 3 until there are 48 stitches total for the foot
I used US 0 (2mm) knitting needles for the foot of the sock until 6” (3” of foot not knit); US 1 (2.25mm) knitting needles for the sole
Decided to
Two-at-a-Time (TAAT), until the lace chart

Final Thoughts
The final result looks good, but I wasn’t completely satisfied with my modifications. I also missed a colorwork repeat.
