...and I barely...barely had enough yarn...in fact I ran out of the gold on the last row...so there are a few stitches of a slightly different colour...it's hard to tell in this light though...and I also ran out of the lighter grey...on the sc border around the top...so I just doubled the other darker grey and finished that...
...so it wound up being a really good use of some stash yarn...
...when I get to the end of the widest part of my foot...I start decreasing every 3rd row...for 5 decreases (15 rows)...and then I decrease every row 4 times...this leaves me with 10 stitches to kitchener instead of 8...and makes a nice rounded toe that I like a lot better than the more pointy one from the pattern...
...what's in your workbasket?

Sweet looking footies...and I love the navy socks - they look super comfy and likely to get more so with washing. Love, K
ReplyDeleteI shape my toe with a decrease every other row until ten stitches are on each needle (40 total) then every row until there are four on each needle (16 total). I liked reading what you do. Love your slippers and you can't see any color difference if it is in the photos.
ReplyDeleteThanks Karen!
Delete...it's interesting how you shape your toe too...I've definitely tweaked this pattern over the years...
