Don’t slip! Inspired by the classic cartoon of a slippery banana peel, Banana Slip(pers) are a sock pattern designed to fit sizes 3-4 years all the way to through adult!

This pattern is a fast knit because, at it’s heart, it’s just a funky ankle sock!

Pattern is written with metric and imperial units, has schematics to help visualize all parts, stitches are picked up and knit so you don’t have to determine the peel placement on your own, and notes with tips.
