Alex kept calling them alien socks.

Toe up increase up to 44 stitches. 2-1 rib on the top of the foot. Foot length 7 inches knit from toe until 5½ inches. STH wedge with 6 stitches between 6 pairs. 2 whole wedges, 3rd wedge with 4 pairs and 14 stitches in the middle. Added one stitch after the heel to the middle back to make the ribbing work, using kfb. Knit 10 rows then started the fringe and did 10 fringe rows. Finished with ribbing until I hit the light turquoise and bound off with JSSBO. He wanted to wear them right away.
