It is fall, Socktober, and the perfect time to make something warm and cozy.

These footies are soft, cushy, and easy to make. The stitch pattern is anti-knotted and stretchy. This offers a great fit, adapting comfortably to various foot shapes—something rarely achieved with crochet.

Plus, it's a toe-up pattern, and the foot and heel are crafted in one piece, minimizing seams and ensuring maximum comfort without irritation.

Size

The pattern supports shoe sizes EU 35-40 (US women 5-9, UK 3-7).

It was originally made for a female foot size EU 37/38 (US 6-7, UK 4-5). However, thanks to the flexible stitch pattern, the footies were easily adapted a couple of sizes up/down.

Yarn

What yarn to use? Bulky, fine, or super fine wool yarn (and blends) work great for this pattern. If you have a lighter yarn, simply hold 2-3 strands together to achieve a heavier weight. See more in the pattern.

I made great tests with yarn like those below, though any yarn that works for you is allowed :) :

• Ren Naturuld (bulky)
• Asta and Lane Cervinia (2 strands)
• Mayflower Andes (3 strands)

I felted a couple of shoes again. This time with less success.

I used another yarn. and though all yarn is different, I cannot blame the yarn. I simply made a couple of mistakes and experienced a couple of mishaps.


My story might help you though, so here it is.

This is my first time felting anything in the washing machine. - At least on purpose.

So, I'm clearly not an expert, BUT! - If you are like me, you would think, this was time consuming and difficult.

It was a piece of cake and amusing too!
I am definitely going to try this again soon.

This is how it works...
