If You Can Read This...Socks
The design for this socks was inspired by a picture of a pair of cheap, machine-made (!) socks with vinyl lettering that my best friend sent me. She demanded I created a knitting pattern for them. I saw the phrase and automatically came up with 3 more phrases I would want my socks to say! Off I went to my design notebook and this design was born. The idea is that you make the right-foot sock with the phrase “If you can read this” and then choose a phrase for the left-foot sock. But, if you want to put a different phrase for the right sock, you can totally do that! Included are a dozen phrases for you to choose from and I will update the pattern with any others I can think of. If you can think of a short phrase, email me and I’ll make up a chart for it!
Included phrases:
- If you can read this
- Fuck off I’m busy
- Ay coño! go away
- Leave me the hell alone
- Pass me a beer
- Pass me the chips
- Bring me some vodka
- Bring me some wine
- You are too f’ing close
- Give me a foot rub
- Fuck off I’m readin
- Fuck off I’m knittin
