Notes

Holding 4 strands together - CO 28 st - k1p1 for 13 rows, then -

Knit scrap yarn for 13 st for afterthought heel - then continue k1 p1 for 13 st top of foot but plain stockinette for 14 st for sole - for 12 rounds. Change yarn mix to rug yarn and mohair for toe (use the same mix for heel) - k stockinette for 5 rounds. Then start reducing for toe leaving st on the sides between groups of 13 like: 13, 1, 14, 1. When down to 8 (1, 1, 3, 1) st draw yarn thru all 7 st and cinch closed.

Change out lambs pride for same gauge rough blue rug yarn for toe, continue mixing it with the 3 mohair yarn strands . Use the mix with rug yarn for the sturdy afterthought heel as well.

Heel:
13 st on top needle, 14 st on bottom needle for bottom of foot. K 2 rows plain, then start reducing K1 SSK - K2T K1 every other row til down to 11 st. Kichener closed.

Kinda big, the rug yarn toe and heel are kinda stiff - hoping all this mohair melts those popsicle toes!!
