Tabi (Flip-Flop) Socks

Tabi is the Japanese name for what’s often referred to in the West as flip-flop socks.  I recently finished the pair I began back in December.   That brings my total wardrobe count up to 4 pairs.  Yes, I really like this style,  because I wear flip flops and I don’t like to force my feet into them while wearing regular socks!

I made a pattern departure this time.  I took a basic sock pattern and designed the toe sections.   I also made some fitting adjustments because,   as I explained in my last post,  I’m tired of loose fitting socks.

These socks were made with Paton’s Kroy sock yarn in the Blue Raspberry colorway.
