Pattern is to be found on page 74 of Paton’s Woolcraft 14th Edition, with illustration (G) on page 69. The recommended wool here is 1 oz. Paton’s Beehive Fingering, while the earlier pamphlets recommend using 1 oz. Paton’s Super Crepe, 3-ply weight. Tension for rows in the booklet is given as 12 rows to the inch. The pamphlets have width tension only.

Note: the pattern for lady’s footlets in Woolcraft Editions 15 and 16, although similar, has a smaller needle size, a different tension, and a slightly more pointed toe.
