(shown in Large size)
Tools:
worsted weight yarn
G hook (4mm)
tapestry needle
Gauge: 18 st - 4"
Sizing: womens(mens)
Finished measurements:
cuff circ. = 8"
cuff length = 6"
foot length = 8.5(10.5)"
Directions:
Cuff and upper foot:
Chain 45(53)
(*tip- you may want to start your foundation chain with a larger hook)
[RS]Row 1:
dc into 4th ch from hook (this counts as first dc), dc in each ch to end [44(50) dc]
Row 2-8:
ch3, skp first dc, dc in each dc to end, dc in ch-3 from previous row
Rows 9-16:
ch3, dc in next 19(25) dc [20(26) dc]
tie off yarn and break
Sole:
*NOTE* about joining:
"with your sock lying with the sole facing you, find the most center point of this "hole". I used bottom (of foot) center point, so that it would not be visible. Then since 1 sideways dc is equal to 3 stitches... you will insert your hook into those 3 lps. Dont sc around the bar of the dc because this creates a hole. It is a slow process at first but once you finished that first base round its smooth sailing."

Row 1:
join new yarn, ch1, sc to end [18(24)sc]
Row 2-32:
ch1, sc in each sc to end
tie off and break yarn
it will now look like this
Finishing:
It is much easier of you sew the cuff and sole together before starting toe and heel.
with WS facing sew together the cuff using whip stitch, making sure not to pull your stitches closed to tight.
without breaking yarn, sew the sole section (sc) to the top of foot section (dc).
tie off, break yarn and weave in ends.
Toe and heel:
Insert hook into back center point of heel(toe). sl to join , ch1

sc around entire heel(toe) [48 sc]
make sure to mark your beg st
Round 2-11:
sc next 10 sc, dec1 (this is your back of heel(toe), dec1, sc in next x sc, dec 1 (this is the front of heel(toe), dec1, sc to beg.
