NOTE
With the chart, I obtain a 38.5 foot size, if you want to make it longer you can add rows at] the begin and at the end of the first chart, add the same number of rows at the end and begin to keep the pattern centered. If you want to make it biger you can add stitches in a multiple of 6 or 3 stitches on each side. The short row toe and short row heel are not the classic short-row with wrapped stitches, it's the JOJO heel, but you can use any short row technique you want to knit it. Cast-on provisionally 30 st., and knit one row. Turn the work Row 2: Knit to one st before the end, turn the work Row 3: sl 1 purlwise with yarn in front, then pull the working yarn to the back of the work until the stitch of the row below makes a double st (dbs) it's your first "wrap". Knit to one stitch before the end, turn the work Row 4: Sllpd: sl1 purlwise with yarn in front, then pullthe working yarn to the back of the work until the stitch of the row below makes a double st, it's your second "wrap", knit to the stitch before dbs, turn the work Row 5: sipid, knit to the stitch betore dbs, turn the work. Continue in this manner until there are only eleven stitches which don't have be doubled, turn the work Next row: sllpd, knit 10 st, then knit the 9 double st, knit one st turn the work Next row: sllpd, knit 19 st, then knit the 9 other double st, knit 1 st, turn the work Next row: sl1pd, knit 20 st, turn the work Next row: sl1pd, knit 11 st, turn the work Next row: sl1pd, knit 10 st, knit the double st, knit 1 st, turn the work Continue in this manner until you have incorporated all the stitches of the toe. Last row: sl1pd, knit $^{28}\,s\dagger$ , then the last dbs, you should have the first st doubled and 29 st knitted. Next row: pick up the 29 stitches from the provisional cast-on and knit one row in round] increasing 2 st; you should have 61 st, 31 st for the instep and 30 st for the sole, now you can begin the foot chart at row 1. Or you can knit every toe you want, you must just have 61 stitches for the begin ofl the foot pattern. HEEL Work the garter stitch short row heel at the same manner as for the toe. Knit the last row increasing 2 stitches and keep the pattern as mentioned. You should have 63 stitches. LEG Row 1 :( ktbl, p2) 21 times. Then start row 1 of the leg chart. FINISHING Purl one row, then another purling row decreasing the 7 stitches increased in the pattern. CUFF Knit 6 rounds in k1, p1 ribbing. Then knit another row with a k1, sl1 with yarn in front and knit the last row with a p1, sl1 with yarn in back. After these 2 last rows you cast-off with an Italian cast-off (tubular cast-off) Et voila. Pattern for free, only for your personal use, made by stefanina July $2008\textcircled{<}$ Stefanina's dream
