Magical Slocks

Half sock, half slipper - slocks are knitted flat and assembled while knitting. A bit magical! **Construction** Worked flat from cuff to toe. The only ends to weave in are the cast-on and bind-off tails — otherwise, the sock is completely seamless. **Techniques** - Selvedge stitches - Centered double decrease - Knit 2 stitches together - Short rows **Size guide** This is a blend between a sock and a slipper, and is therefore meant to fit a bit loosely, with a slightly smurfy look when worn. If you prefer a narrower fit, go down one size and knit the leg and foot to your desired length. **Sizes** Toddler (Youth) Women (Men) **Measurements, lying flat** Width: 10 (11) 12 (13) cm | 4 (4.25) 4.75 (5) inches Foot length: approx. 14 (18) 22 (26) cm | 5.5 (7) 8.75 (10.1) inches **Recommended needle size** 4.5 mm circular needle, 40 and 80 or 100 cm | US 7 circular, 16 and 32 or 40 inches **Gauge per 10 cm | 4"** Garter stitch: 15 sts / 32 rows **Yarn** Use an aran or worsted weight yarn (approx. 100 m / 109 yd per 50 g), optionally held together with a strand of fine mohair.
