I went toe up because I only had one hank of yarn and wanted the socks to be as tall as possible. But, I&#8217;m having issues. Try to be surprised. I have an even number of stitches on the top of the sock and an even number of stitches on the bottom,  but the pattern is based on a 2 stitch repeat. So, I&#8217;m trying to figure out if I want to add an extra stitch on top of the foot and have knit 1, purl 1, knit 1 OR just have the pattern start on a knit 1 and end on a purl 1*&#8230;.Neither option is really sitting well with my mild OCD.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.metzroth.com\/katie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/IMG_3375.jpg\" alt=\"Amenable socks\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-7409\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.metzroth.com\/katie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/IMG_3375.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.metzroth.com\/katie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/IMG_3375-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><br \/>\n<br \/>Then, I visited Gauge Knits and they had another skein of the yarn! I swear it wasn&#8217;t there last week. So, now, I feel like the universe is telling me to just knit the pattern as designed. What do you think?<br \/>\n* The pattern is actually much more fun to knit than plain old ribbing, but this seemed the easiest way to explain my quandary.<\/p>\n<p>Ps.
