Fuzzypeg socks use a combination of fingering-weight sock yarn together with a lace-weight mohair blend to give them a light, airy feel, while maximizing warmth and coziness. They are a quick knit at a relaxed gauge, which helps the mohair to fluff up and fill in the spaces between stitches.
There are some special features in this pattern that will be appreciated by all sock knitters— the cable and rib pattern is continued across the instep, making the sock quite elastic, stretching to fit a range of widths. The length of both the top and the foot can be adjusted to suit your preference. The toe is shaped as for a traditional wedge toe, but finishes off with a the final few sts drawn together as is done for the finishing of a cap (no kitchener stitch needed!).
