The Forester Caterpillar Socks are modeled after the stripes and spots that characterize the caterpillars of the Langton’s Forester, Alypia langtoni. These socks are knit toe-up with a short-row heel and are not left/right footed, facilitating two-at-a-time knitting. The colorwork instructions are charted.
