Stitching Instructions for Summit Slipper Socks Pattern:

1. Toes:

  • Begin with a magic ring or ch 4, sl st into the first ch to form a ring.
  • Round 1: Work 6 sc into the center of the ring. Tighten the ring by pulling the tail end. Do not join; continue in unjoined rounds (spiral).
    • Use a stitch marker to mark the first stitch of the round.
  • Round 2: Work 2 sc in each stitch around (12 sc total).
  • Round 3: [1 sc, 2 sc in next stitch] repeat around (18 sc total).
  • Round 4: [1 sc in each of the next 2 stitches, 2 sc in the next stitch] repeat around (24 sc total).
  • Continue increasing in this pattern (adding 1 more single crochet between increases in each round) until the diameter matches your foot’s width.

2. Foot:

  • Once the toe section is complete, continue working sc in unjoined rounds to extend the foot.
    • Use the stitch marker to keep track of rounds.
  • Start the lattice texture on the top of the foot:
    • On the top stitches, work [1 dc, 1 fpdc] alternately across the row to create a raised texture.
    • Around the sides and bottom (sole), continue working sc.
  • Repeat the textured lattice pattern for the top stitches in every round. On the next lattice row:
    • Work the fpdc around the post of the previous row’s fpdc to enhance the pattern.
  • Continue in this manner, alternating textured and smooth sections, until the foot portion matches your size from the toe to the start of the heel.

3. Heel:

  • After finishing the foot section, begin the heel in turned rows.
  • Attach yarn to the heel area (specific stitches marked in the pattern).
  • Row 1: Ch 1, work sc across the designated heel stitches. Turn.
  • Row 2: Ch 1, work sc across. Continue for the number of rows specified in the pattern or until the heel area reaches the needed height.
  • Fasten off, leaving a long tail.
  • Fold the heel section in half and sew the edges together using a tapestry needle and whipstitch. Weave in ends.

4. Cuff:

  • Switch to Fable Fur yarn for the cuff. Attach it to the ankle opening with a sl st.
  • Round 1: Ch 1, work sc evenly around the entire ankle opening. Join with a sl st to the first sc.
  • Round 2 and beyond: Repeat sc rounds, ensuring that the cuff lays evenly and matches your desired length.
    • Tip: Faux-fur yarn can obscure stitches, so work slowly and feel for each stitch.
  • Once the cuff reaches your preferred width, join the final round with a sl st. Fasten off and weave in ends.

5. Finishing Touches:

  • Check the slipper for any loose ends and weave them in securely.
  • Block the main slipper body if necessary (avoid blocking the faux-fur cuff as it might lose fluffiness).
  • Repeat the entire process for the second sock.
