Hippy Crunchy!
The first sock is finished!
Yarn: Socks that Rock in Peaseblossom
Pattern: Hippy Crunchy (mods below)
I'll be doing the second sock soon. I did this one along on magic loop because the beginning of the round changes, which is tough when doing two socks at once. I wanted to post it now so anyone is interested can see the modifications to the pattern.
The pattern mods:
I decided to do the chart without the 4 edge stitches on the round section. Because of this the beginning of round changes sometimes. The BOR is moved one stitch earlier (right) on rounds 6, 10, and 14. On round 20 the BOR is one stich later (left).
I also inserted a decrease round. After the round where you k2tog each cast on stitch with one of the stitches, knit 1 round. On the next round *k3, k2tog* around. For the sock with a 60 stitch hem, 48 stitches (or 4 lace repeats) remain. I worked 3 repeats of the chart as directed and then started a heel flap on 1/2 the stitches (24).
After picking up gusset stitches I moved 2 stitches from each side of the gusset to the instep to make a total of 28 instep stitches (for 2 repeats of the chart plus the edge stitches). I decreased down to 30 stitches for the sole.

Lovely! I'm bookmarking this post for when I do mine. (I'm glad I'm not the only one just now getting to these!)
Just started these myself and wish that I left the seams out of the equation. The socks are big enough.
Your socks are lovely. I hope that you enjoy wearing them!
