I love the connotations that come with the phrase “a little something”, feelings of joy and excitement stemming from a surprise thoughtful gift, a treat or more than you were expecting.

In all my designs I try to add “a little something” that helps you, the knitter, get the most out of my patterns. Whether it’s a pattern stitch reminder, some space for notes and tips or tricks I think you might find helpful or handy. This pattern is no exception! I have included instructions to make your own “Mini Me” sock at the back.
