Sized for a broad range of feet, this pattern is very flexible!

The foot is worked top-down from the ankle - with these stretchy yarns it’s easier to get the right foot length that way. And then stitches are picked up at the ankle and the leg is worked in brioche in worsted weight, with larger needles. You can work the leg as long as you need, for a squishy and warm boot cuff, or a full legwarmer.

Brioche instructions are very detailed -the pattern is suitable for those with no brioche experience. Instructions are written for any needle configuration: DPNs, magic loop or two circulars.
