Captain’s Log, Supplemental
I’ve been wearing Crocs slippers around the house—the cushioning helps my plantar fascitis. The problem is that in the wintertime, I have to bunch up my socks in order to wear them with my slippers.
Japanese people wear split-toe socks called tabi socks, worn with a geta slipper. I thought, why not make my own with wool yarn?
I used Red Sprinkles Wool-Ease worsted yarn, and I adapted Pinpilan Wangsai’s Lickety Split socks pattern for the toes (I knitted mine top down rather than toe up). For the leg, I used the “Scallops and Lace” pattern by Sissy Gorgus from the Knitting Zone Sock Challenge.
Update: I wrote out the knitting pattern for top-down stockinette tabi slipper socks!
Captain Caffeine calls them “alien socks” because the split toe looks so freaky. I blithely ignore him, because HIS feet are cold while mine are toasty warm.
