My take on Fuzzy Feet
Here is a link to the original pattern. I changed it to make it toe-up with a Turkish or Figure Eight/Magic Cast-on, an Afterthought Heel, and to fit a men's large (11-13) foot.
Gauge, recommended needle size and yarn are the same. I used almost an entire skein of black and just a bit of the red for the pair of slippers pictured above. The directions are written for 2 circular needles/magic loop. If you will be using DPN's for the toe and heel, Needle One will become Needles 1 and 2, while Needle 2 will become Needles 3 and 4.
CO 7 wraps (14 loops for figure 8/magic cast-on) in Color A
Work 2 foundation rounds, k all sts (make sure to ktbl the appropriate stitches if using figure 8 or magic cast-on).
Rnd 3: *K2, M1L, k until 2 sts rem on needle 1, M1R, K2, rep from * for needle 2
Rnd 4: K all sts
Repeat rounds 3 and 4 until you have a total of 50 sts. Work 2 rounds in stockinette stitch, change to Color B. Continue working in stockinette st until sock measures 10" from toe (about 31 rounds of color B).
Rnd 5: K25, K25 onto waste yarn
Rnd 6: K all sts with Color B
Continue working in stockinette st until measures 3 inches from waste-yarn round (about 13 rounds), BO loosely.
Heel:
PU 25 sts on both sides of waste yarn, remove waste yarn.
Rnd 1: K all sts, pu 3 stitches at the gap at the end of each needle (28 sts on each needle, 56 sts total).
Rnd 2: K all sts
Rnd 3: *K1, ssk, k until 3 sts rem on needle 1, k2tog, k1; rep from * for needle 2
Rnd 4: K all sts
Work rounds 3 and 4 until 30 sts rem (15 sts on each needle).
Work round 3 until 22 sts rem (11 sts on each needle). Graft rem sts together. Weave in ends and felt as directed.
I'll be doing up a pair for my husband in the same size later this month, so I'll be back to make any alterations necessary.
Enjoy!
