NOTES
I wanted to use up some scrappy yarn, but I didn’t want a truly scrappy look for my sock. My yarn combo was perfect for this slip stitch sock.
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 50 stitches total for the foot
US 0 (2.0mm) for the toes and foot; US 1.5 (2.5mm) after the heel & for the leg; US 7 (4.5mm) for the loose bind off - I experimented with several sizes and, for me, this produced a nice stretchy bind off
Used my favorite heel construction - Fleegle Heel + No Holes Version
4.5” length for the leg and then started the lace chart - sock was about 6.5” in total leg length
Reversed the lace chart
Two-at-a-Time (TAAT), until the lace chart

Final Thoughts
I really liked knitting this sock. I can see myself making this sock again.
