Designed to really show off that special skein of sock yarn, (such as the black light reactive yarn for my daughter to wear at laser tag). The feet are done first in a contrast yarn, then the legs are done in the special yarn to let it all shine. The star toe and steppin out heel are chosen to please her sensitive feet, with no seams or excess fabric. The cuff has eyelets for an optional ribbon.

Quick to put on for extra warmth. Choose one colour for everyday wear or your own colour scheme for cosplay. Starts with a provisional cast on at the neck, works downwards, then buttonbands are added, then the hood. We give you the details and chart for the pictured pokeball theme, but you of course can change colours as you wish.

BY: BMakingJoy
Designer: Belinda Rewucki
DESCRIPTION:
A mini sock for your inhaler. The toe opens for access to the mouthpiece. Used to attach your emergency inhaler to your lanyard, purse or backpack, etc.
SIZES:
Fits a standard Ventolin inhaler, can be modified for other sizes.
MATERIALS:
CYC#1, fingering weight yarn 22yds (20m)
US 2 (2.75 mm) double pointed needles (or long circular)
Size D (3mm) crochet hook or something close
Small carabiner
2 small snaps
Sewing needle and thread to match yarn
GAUGE:
7 sts/inch. But it’s quicker to knit the project. If too big go down a needle size, if too small go up a needle size.
ABBREVIATIONS:
BO = bind off
CO = cast on
k = knit
kfb = knit into front of st, then into back of same st. (1 st increased)
LH = left hand
p = purl
rep = repeat
rnd = round
RH = right hand
RS = right side
PKWR & k2tog = pick up wrap and knit together, see special instructions
PKWR & p2tog = pick up wrap and purl together, see special instructions
st(s) = stitch(es)
WS = wrong side
w&t = wrap and turn, see special instructions below.
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS:
Pinhole Cast On: Make a loop of yarn about 1” (2.5 cm) in diameter with the ball end crossing over the tail end. Hold the circle in your left hand, pinching where the yarns cross, and hold the needle in your right hand. * Insert needle into circle from front to back, wrap working yarn around needle, and pull loop through the circle to create 1 new loop on needle. Wrap working yarn around the needle to create a second loop. Lift the first loop over the second loop and off the needle. One loop remains, this is one stitch cast on. Repeat from * until the desired number of stitches are cast on. Once desired sts have been cast on, pull the tail of yarn to tighten and close the circle.
W&T on a RS row: Knit to the stitch where you need to work the W&T. Slip the next stitch purlwise from LH to RH needle. Bring working yarn between needles to the front of the work. Slip the stitch back from RH to LH needle. Turn work so the WS is now facing you to start purling in the opposite direction.
W&T on a WS row: Purl to the stitch where you need to work the W&T. Slip the next stitch purlwise from LH to RH needle. Bring working yarn between needles to the back of the work. Slip the stitch back from RH to LH needle. Turn work so the RS is now facing you to start knitting in the opposite direction.
PKWR & k2tog: Pick up the last wrap at the base of the next stitch. Knit the wrap together with the stitch.
PKWR & p2tog: Pick up the last wrap at the base of the next stitch. Purl the wrap together with the stitch.
INSTRUCTIONS:
With pinhole method, CO 6 sts. Leave a 10-12” (25-30 cm) long tail on outside for attaching carabiner later. Join in rnd.
Rnd 1: K all sts.
Rnd 2: Kfb all sts. (12 sts)
Rnds 3 & 4: K all sts.
Rnd 5: Kfb all sts. (24 sts)
Your diameter should now be just under 1” (2.5 cm). Continue knitting in the round until piece measures 3.25” (8.25 cm) or length of inhaler.
Turn Heel: (worked back and forth in rows)
Row 1: K15, w&t. (Leave remaining 8 sts on hold for instep)
Row 2: P14, w&t.
Row 3: K13, w&t.
Row 4: P12, w&t.
Row 5: K11, w&t.
Row 6: P10, w&t.
Row 7: K9, w&t.
Row 8: P8, w&t.
Row 9: K8, PKWR & k2tog, w&t.
Row 10: P9, PKWR & p2tog, w&t.

Row 13: K12, PKWR & k2tog, w&t.
Row 14: P13, PKWR & p2tog, w&t.
