This pair of shortie socks features kitties playing, pouncing, ignoring, sleeping and stretching. They were definitely inspired by my cat, Lacey who loves being around yarn as much as I do.
The socks are knitted toe-up with a short row heel. There is a stranded pattern on the sole of the foot with cats arranged over the top. While they are spaced closely enough for stranded knitting, I have used the Ladderback Jacquard technique and provided an explanation and a Youtube video for this technique should you want to learn it.
Sizes: S/M/L (20/22.5/25 cm/8/9/10 inches) These socks are sized without ease.
This pattern has been tech edited and test knitted.
