Caw paw socks! These fun bed socks are super cosy. They can be knitted with stripes in 3 colours or just 2. The Truffle comes in 6 natural shades so you can match the colours to your own cat!

The total yardage for the socks is about 162m for the adult size (about 90g of the Truffle yarn). The tension works out about a DK but the needle size is smaller, so if substituting another yarn be careful to do a swatch - the first few inches of the sock work as an ideal swatch.

As the fluffy yarn is a bit tricky to work with I’ve kept the construction very simple with a short row heel - no need to hide wraps as the fluffy yarn takes care of any gaps. The toe is fully charted but the instructions are also written out for the toe decreases.

These make lovely bed socks, or add a bit of grip to the soles for slippers. They also knit up really quickly.
