Thrumby

Thrumby is a hug in knitting format. There’s nothing cushier than immersing your foot into a fully thrummed wool bootie. Any friend or family member that lives in a cooler climate will feel cozy and cared for in a pair of these slippers. Good thing this pattern is sized for everyone! From the list below, choose a size with a finished length that is ~1-1½”/ 2.5-4cm shorter than the actual length of the wearer’s foot.

The slipper takes shape by working the sole “flat,” picking up stitches around the sole, joining in the round, knitting the sides, shaping the top of the foot with short rows, working the ankle area, and finishing with an i-cord cuff. **Materials:** Custom Woolen Mills Prairie Sea Fusion, 100% wool, 300y/274m; 453g/1lb.; 74 (90, 105, 122, 140) [155, 173, 173] (190, 205, 243, 262)y/ 68 (82, 96, 112, 128) [142, 158, 158] (174, 188, 222, 240)m and 38 (44, 54, 62, 70) [78, 88, 88] (96, 104, 122, 132)g wool top, such as Small Bird Workshop BFL/sari silk or Emily C Gillies 21 Micron Merino Combed Top for thrums. **Tools:** US 10 (6 mm) 8”/20 cm double pointed needles or needle size necessary to obtain gauge; stitch marker; tapestry needle; appropriately sized sock blocker (optional). **Gauge:** 12 sts/17 rows/rnds over 4”/10cm in thrummed stockinette. **Errata** In v021522, Size H: • Row 21: K4, (Thrum1, k3) twice, k1 • Row 34: P2tog, p9, p2tog – 11 sts
