Hi everyone,

I remember seeing a pattern a year or so ago for dorm boots. They came up to below the knee.

I'm not sure if they laced up or not, but I think they did.

I did not save the pattern nor the link to it (or if I did, I can't find it again).

Does anyone else remember these and if so, any idea where to find them?

I've ALREADY been through CPC and Martha's list of links for slippers, socks, & shoes. Found many interesting items, but not quite what I remember.

Thanks in advance for any leads.

What about these (http://cache.lionbrand.com/patterns/cwe-socks.html?noImages=0)

They are on Lion Brand, so if your not already .. you'll need to register.

Those are close to what I remember. I really think the ones I saw previously either laced up or had a faux laceup panel in the front. Looked really cute (or strange depending on your pov), but on consideration of making them.. might be more trouble than it's worth.

These might actually be more doable and practical.. even though not as cute.

THANKS!

I made some of these a couple years ago from a pattern I found online. I think they were called Scrap Socks, but couldn't find the pattern on my computer. They were worked vertically with 2 strand of knitting worsted. I made a chain as long as the length. Half double crochet in each chain until 5 stitches from the end. Single Crochet in those 5. Chain 1, turn. Working in the back loops, sc 5, then hdc. (It may have been singles and slip stitches to narrow the toes). Work in this manner
until it fits around the leg. Sew up. I wish I could remember where the pattern came from. Anyway, this is the basis of it. Alice
