ankle wrap foot lock:

this is something chris linder just made up this past week at practice while trying to get out of something else, so i can't say for sure what it's suited for. it is definitely a foot lock, in that you can stand on it and it will take your weight; but it doesn't seem to be as stable in the same directions as other foot locks, possibly because the pole comes up the outside rather than the inside of the shin. also it seems to be tricky to get out of, possibly because of the ankle wrap. but i think the way the loop drops down your leg and suddenly you're in a foot lock looks neat.

on split silks, from same side leg crochet, turn your hips so the crocheted leg's hip is on top and walk your hands up the other fabric until you're upright. it may help to hold the fabric on the crocheted foot with the free foot. when you get upright, let the loop drop off your thigh to your ankle, and the lock is done.

uses/builds on: same side leg crochet
