Cute Slipper Socks and the How To's

Remember those kinky-looking slipper socks that Chris made, the ones that we all thought should have a bell on the toe? Pam brought them to the Group and now she has written the pattern for us and we have several photos to show how they are assembled. So get out the needles and start your own....

Kinky Sox Pattern as written by Pam Rule, the original designer is unknown. Pam recommends the brighter the colour the cuter they will look.
Fits approx size 7. 8ply wool and size 4mm or 5mm needles. These sox are knitted in squares!

With wool doubled cast on 28 sts for foot, and knit 48 rows. Squares should measure 6" square. For one sock knit 2 squares, for 2 socks knit 4 squares.
Cast on 14 sts for top of sock and knit 24 rows. Squares should measure 3" square. For one sock knit 3 squares, for 2 socks knit 6 squares.


Diagram 1
ASSEMBLY DIRECTIONS
*Darn in ends on each square.
*Seams are on the outside of socks.
*Use black wool doubled to sew up socks, use an extra long length so there are not too many stops and starts.

Lay 2 large squares on top of each other, measure 3" on either side and over sew one corner as in diagram 1. Do not break thread. This seam forms heel of sock.










Diagram 2
Open the 2 large squares and lay flat as in diagram 2. Now lay the 3 smaller squares on the diamond as in diagram 2. This gives you an idea of what is happening. Fold in each side of the large squares as in diagram 2. Can you see now how it is all coming together? Begin to sew in the small squares using the long thread, starting at the centre square. Work you way around the sock, sewing as you go.



















Diagram 3
Leave open top section as in diagram 3. Turn back tops.
















'You have now created an interesting pair of slipper/socks.
The original pattern states they should fit a size 7, but I find they have fitted up to size 10, but of course this depends on the knitter,' says Pam.

I can only think of how well they would do 'slides' on the polished timber floor!
