This pattern uses a combination of fingering/sock weight yarn and mohair sections to create a slouchy style 80s/90s socks.

I have always had a thing for slouchy cozy socks, I hope you will want to knit tons of these for yourself and gifts. These socks feel like you are wearing a warm hug. The leg of the sock can be lengthened or shortened, you can just add more or less repeats to make the socks of your dreams. The mohair or optionally suri sections are knit using the same needle size don’t worry if these sections are looser it just adds to the scrunched effect, conversely if you are a tighter knitter you can size up your needle just for the leg or add more pattern repeats. The pattern is knit top down, I used magic loop, it has a heel flap and gusset, but do use a heel style that you most like. You can knit this pattern in multiple colors and add stripes or use the same color palette and have some cozy monochrome socks. The possibilities are endless.
