The oversized hobbit is turning 33! That means he needs special socks, right?

Works to 9 spi

Judy’s magic cast on, 24 sts total. (If using IndigoDragonfly sock yarn again, 28 sts wouldn’t be a problem.)

One rnd even, use knit into st below (stitch to centre, not stitch to the side) for increases

76 sts around for foot, work for 22 cm (90 rnds) from cast-on. Make heel on first half of sts.

Work 24 rows back & forth, start band (8 sts between decreases). 3 sets of decreases in flap, work band. pick up & knit 16 sts on each side of flap, dec 2 sts each side for gusset.

19 cm from bottom to start of ribbing (68 rnds from pick up). Switch yarns. 25 rnds ribbing, sewn cast-off.

3 x is not enough length for me w/ EZ cast-off
