I knew the minute that I saw Andrea Rangel’s colourwork stitch dictionary, I would have to design a pair of socks with some of her kitty motifs and this is the first (Don’t worry, the book includes permission for the motifs to go into patterns). I just love kitties and these socks remind me of my two tom cats, Jim and Norman, who are always snuggling one another.

The sock pattern is knit from the cuff down using a standard heel flap construction. The chart is stranded colourwork and care should be taken on long floats to twist the yarn half way through.

There are two sizes: 21.5 (22.5) cm / 8.5 (9) ins, the first being a common ladies foot size.

The yarn used is West Yorkshire Spinners 4 ply and with two balls it is possible to knit the pair pictured and a reversed colour. Any sock yarn should do as long as the yarn contrasts really well.
