This is not a pattern so much as a kind of general direction for how I adapted Elizabeth's Moccasin Sock for my own purposes.  I used 4 oz of superwash merino roving that I got from Portland Fiber Gallery www.portlandfibergallery.com or portfiber@etsy.  You can use sock  yarn or spin your own if you like.  This merino superwash spun up beautifully and washes and wears well.

I spun the yarn at approximately sock weight and the gauge in stockinette is 5/inch. I cast on 60 stitches and knit 1-2 inches of Knit 1 Purl 1 rib. I used the long circular needle two at a time method, but you don't have to. One at a time is fine, on double points or two circulars or one long circular or whatever you usually do. Then, since the yarn was slightly different colors and I wanted the socks to be related to each other I switched the balls of yarn so that the color would change abruptly and knit one round. At this point mentall divide your stitches in half (30) and then center your lace or cable pattern in that number. I used the lace pattern on page 129 called Flowing Leaves from Knitting on the Edge by Nicky Epstein. It had a repeat of 23 stitches so I knit two together to make my number 29 and centered it with 3 stockinette stitches on each side. But use any lace pattern you like or use cables. Just remember to do the right side of your pattern as written and do the wrong side reversed....that is on the wrong side (which you will never see since you are knitting socks in the round) knit where it says to purl and purl where it says to knit.

Continue in the usual sock fashion until your length to the top of the back of your heel is what you would like. On these particular socks it is 7 inches but tastes differ. Now dig out your Knitting Around book and read through your directions. I placed 7 stitches on a holder at the back of the heel and did the decreasing as EZ suggests until I had 29 stitches left on my needle. Once you split your sock and start knitting flat back and forth you are going to stop reversing you wrong side stitches so make sure you split at the beginning of the right side row so that when you reverse direction you will be looking at the wrong side and can resume doing what your pattern told you to do in the first place.....now youwill knit where it says to knit and purl where it says to purl.  Continue on following EZ's directions and do slip the first stitch of every row....you'll be glad you did later.  Depending on your gauge you may need to modify her numbers by a stitch or two, I centered 9 stitches at the point of the toe for example since my gauge had few more stitches to the inch than hers since my yarn was finer.

Once your top(s) are done switch to your heavier yarn if you like and pick up for the soles of the foot.   Use the pinwheel variation right from the start....I've made the original Kitchener stitched version twice now and I don't like it.
