Minitomus

Minitomus anklets are done!

• On Ravelry: Minitomus

• Pattern: Pomatomus by Cookie A from Knitty, Winter 2005

• Yarn: 172 m/188 yd of Novita Nalle Colori (75% wool / 25% polyamide), colorway #813 (aqua/light blue/denim)

• Needles: 3.5 mm 80 cm aluminum circular needle

• Other: Summer of Socks 2007 pair #5, Sockdown: Ravelry August 2007 challenge (Sockbug or lace) pair #2

Mods:

• Toe-up, ankle length.

• Revisited Widdershins heel in the k2tog tbl, p1 stitch pattern that was in the original pattern.

• The biggest mod is that I used sport/DK weight yarn so I had to downsize the pattern. In the instep, I had one less horizontal pattern repeat plus 1 st on each side (= 26 sts). 26 sts also on the sole so 52 sts in total.

• Decreased the extra 4 stitches after the heel so that I had 4 pattern repeats horizontally (= 48 sts).

• Continued in k2tog tbl, p1 ribbing on the heel needle until I reached row #1 in the stitch pattern.

• Made a cuff of one full pattern repeat, finished off with an applied I-cord edging.
