Slipper Sock (Make 2)

We'll make one sock at a time. The process is identical for both, so repeat these steps for your second sock.

Part 1: The Chunky Cuff

This ribbed cuff is stretchy and comfortable, folding over beautifully to show off your pom poms.

1. Foundation Chain: Ch 28 (or multiple of 4 + 2 for a longer/shorter cuff).
2. Row 1: Sc in the 2nd ch from hook and in each ch across. Turn. (27 sts)
3. Rows 2-6: Ch 1, sc in each st across. Turn. (27 sts) – This creates the ribbed texture.
4. Form the Tube: Fold the cuff in half lengthwise, matching the short edges. Sl st through both layers to form a tube. Do not turn. This creates a stretchy, seamless cuff.

Part 2: The Foot

Now we'll work in continuous rounds to create the body of the sock. Use a stitch marker to keep track of your rounds.

5. Rnd 1: Ch 1, work 27 sc evenly around the edge of the cuff. Join with sl st to first sc. (27 sts)
6. Rnd 2: Ch 1, sc in each st around. Join. (27 sts)
7. Rnd 3 (Increase Round): Ch 1, sc in first 13 sts, 2 sc in next st, sc in next st, 2 sc in next st, sc in last 11 sts. Join. (29 sts) – We're starting to shape the toe area.
8. Rnd 4: Ch 1, sc in each st around. Join. (29 sts)
9. Rnd 5 (Increase Round): Ch 1, sc in first 14 sts, 2 sc in next st, sc in next st, 2 sc in next st, sc in last 12 sts. Join. (31 sts)
10. Rnd 6: Ch 1, sc in each st around. Join. (31 sts)
11. Continue Shaping: Keep increasing 2 sts every other round (at the toe area) until you have 39 sts, working even rounds in between. Pro Tip: Try the sock on as you go to ensure it fits comfortably over your foot. Adjust the number of increase rounds if needed.
12. Work Even: Work even in sc for 8-10 rounds, or until the foot reaches the base of your toes. This is the main body of the sock that covers your foot.

Part 3: Toe Shaping

Time to shape the toe so it hugs your foot perfectly. We'll use decreases (sc2tog) to taper the fabric.

13. Rnd 1 (Decrease Round): Ch 1, sc in first 17 sts, sc2tog, sc in next st, sc2tog, sc in last 17 sts. Join. (37 sts)
14. Rnd 2: Ch 1, sc in each st around. Join. (37 sts)
15. Rnd 3 (Decrease Round): Ch 1, sc in first 16 sts, sc2tog, sc in next st, sc2tog, sc in last 16 sts. Join. (35 sts)
16. Rnd 4: Ch 1, sc in each st around. Join. (35 sts)
17. Rnd 5 (Decrease Round): Ch 1, sc in first 15 sts, sc2tog, sc in next st, sc2tog, sc in last 15 sts. Join. (33 sts)
18. Rnd 6 (Decrease Round): Ch 1, sc in first 14 sts, sc2tog, sc in next st, sc2tog, sc in last 14 sts. Join. (31 sts)
19. Rnd 7 (Decrease Round): Ch 1, sc in first 13 sts, sc2tog, sc in next st, sc2tog, sc in last 13 sts. Join. (29 sts)
20. Rnd 8 (Decrease Round): Ch 1, sc in first 12 sts, sc2tog, sc in next st, sc2tog, sc in last 12 sts. Join. (27 sts)
21. Finish: Fasten off, leaving a long tail (about 12 inches). Thread the tail through the remaining 27 sts using your yarn needle, pull tight to close the toe, and weave in the ends securely.

Part 4: Fluffy Pom Poms (Make 4)

These adorable dusty rose pom poms add the perfect pop of color and extra coziness!

22. Wrap: Using your dusty rose yarn, wrap it around a 2-inch pom pom maker (or a piece of cardboard cut to size) about 50 times. The more wraps, the fluffier the pom pom!
23. Secure & Cut: Tie the yarn tightly in the middle with a separate piece of yarn. Cut the loops on both sides, then trim the pom pom into a perfect, round shape.
24. Attach: Using your yarn needle and matching thread, attach two pom poms to the top edge of each cuff, spacing them about 1 inch apart. Make sure they're securely fastened so they don't fall off during wear.

And that's it! You've just created a pair of luxurious, cloud-like slipper socks. Repeat the entire process for the second sock, and you'll have a beautiful, handmade pair that's perfect for gifting or keeping all to yourself. Enjoy the plush comfort and the satisfaction of your beautiful handiwork!
