This wooly knit sock pattern is a tribute to our fiber friend, the sheep! The socks are worked from the toe up so the happy ewe face can be duplicate stitched on with minimal fuss. The body of the sheep had a lightly textured appearance to imitate its wooly fleece. The socks have a contrasting shadow wrapped short row heel.

This pattern is written in needle neutral terms and can be worked on dpns or circular needles with your favorite small circumference circular knitting method.
