I hope this makes sense!<BR/><BR/>I did 60 rows for my foot and when I got to the heel, I did my usual short row heel, but on the very last row of the heel, I knit the foundation row again, so my pattern follows on from the instep. Again, I hope this makes sense! ;0)Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09538476687444110131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8662221893766539491.post-6822889331967194522008-01-04T15:49:00.000+00:002008-01-04T15:49:00.000+00:00The pattern should work, since it's just ribing an...The pattern should work, since it's just ribing and "holes." I guess you could work the pattern upside down instead to ber sure--start at the top of the chart and work down instead of the the other way around. I must admit I haven't started yet--I'm trying to finish up some quilting projects and getting my fabric and yarn organized. We're leaving for a 2 month trip in our little RV in a week, and I have lots of projects i want to take along.<BR/>SandySandy and Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10269337139962200777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8662221893766539491.post-65391412516164434992008-01-04T13:57:00.000+00:002008-01-04T13:57:00.000+00:00I was wondering the same thing.

As long as you choose an architecture that keeps the foot increases on the sides or sole you should be okay. I've already used the Judy's magic Cast On toes, and LOVE it!
