Another beautiful and luxurious sock!
On the toe section can you let me know how many stitches should be on each needle please?
Emma, I'm sorry, I didn't make a note of the # of sts per needle. I'd suggest dividing the sts evenly by the number of needles you're using and continue knitting until you're down to 12 sts.
Lovely, I'll try that, thanks.
Im confused. i REALLY dont know whether you cast off on the heel before you start on the gusset. Help!
I love this pattern, this is the first pattern I used to knit my first pair of socks, and I'm on my 3rd! I've started trying more complex patterns with textures but am also happy to come back to this one as it's nice and simple.
Thanks for sharing!

Just curious as I'm already well into these, haha... How far up the leg do they go?
Umm how many stitches do I put on each needle or does it matter? I got my first dpns so I could try this simple looking pattern and I am really looking forward to trying it. =D
I've never knitted a sock before. I've decided to knit 2 pairs for presents for friends and chose 2 different colour wools. Is this the kind of pattern where I could do contrast colours on the toe heel and top?
I am in the middle of the first sock. It has been a lot of fun and very simple so far, but I think there may be an error in the pattern. The decrease rows after you pick up stitches for the gussets are decreasing 2 stitches per row -- 1 stitch on needle one and 1 on needle three. If there are 81 stitches total (18, 16, 16, 31) using these decrease rows gets you to 61 stitches, not 60. We need one extra decrease so there are 29 stitches across needles 1 and 3, and 31 instep stitches on needle 2. Conversely, you could start with less stitches on either needle 1 or needle 3 -- so 24 and 25 stitches making 49 and 31, or 80 stitches total before you begin decreasing.
All the best,
Kerby
oh my gosh those must feel so incredibly soft! Love the colour too
