Scaly

Scaly by a shrill caramel.
Pattern: Child's First Sock in Shell Pattern from Knitting Vintage Socks
Yarn: Colinette Jitterbug in Elephant's Daydream - 1 skein
Needles: 2.5 mm

Such a great pattern. But despite decreasing way more slowly over the gussets to keep more stitches there as long as possible, these are still a bit tight over my crazy insteps.

Raveled here.

They are beautiful!! I really love this color of Jitterbug and it looks great in this pattern.

I have high insteps too and the heel flap in this pattern seemed short to me, when I make them, I think I might extend the flap by a few more rows to increase the size of the gusset.

I definitely would if I were you. I should have. Normally I don't have that much of a problem but these are really tight. I should have ripped back, but I was too lazy.
