A collection of easy-to-follow knitting patterns for six super cute pairs of animal socks.
Knitters will adore these designs for ankle- and knee-length socks featuring six different animal designs, including a fox, cat, pig, koala, owl, and panda.
In addition to the six patterns, there are basic knitting instructions and step-by-step photos showing all the necessary techniques--so even novice stitchers can start knitting straight away.
I really like the sock animals and you could easily adapt the patterns by using different colors, or changing which face you put on the taller sock. The faces are put in with a duplicate stitch that is embroidered after the sock is complete, which I think is the smarter way because it makes a more durable sock, with more even stitches and less hassle and confusion than doing intarsia (switching colors) on a small object.
I read through the pattern and it looks straight forward. I may use an alternate method on the heel and toe, but will definitely stick with her face patterns.
