Second time knitting this pattern… loved and wore the first pair so much they worn out the balls of my feet! This time, the yarn is inspired by Stardust, a favorite movie of both me and E. using Chaiagoo needles. modified stitch count for my feet size (72st instead of 58), added extra stitches on…
I wanted some basic slippers. Sarah admired my library slippers with the fuzzy top and the padding in the bottom, so I wanted those to be elements of these socks too. I did short row toes and heels similar to Knitty’s Twinkle toes and then added eyelets so a piece of yarn could be woven…
planning to make more than one. only used one skein, but part of another was used in related swatching.
gauge is 6 st/in, between fingering and DK on needles in between those as well. Casting on the fingering size 12mo and it will just be slightly big so she can wear it longer probably doing short sleeves.
seen on nicole hindes blog, this is glorious and makes me want to learn a little crochet. This pattern is SO well written, I was able to sit down and cast on with only a small amount of crochet knowledge, but never motifs with multiple tiers before. Love it!
