This fun sock pattern was created as a dedication to all our pet cats. Wearing these socks is an indicator to all cats that you are already owned by a feline friend and knitting them in honour of your cat will gain you life long respect from your pet….possibly!

These socks are knit from the cuff down with 1 x 1 ribbing, a ribbed heel-flap and gusset and have sections of colourwork on the leg and before the start of the toe. The pattern is written using the magic loop circular needle method (but can be knit with dpns).

Sizes

Size 1: Small/Medium (foot circumference 20.5cm - 23cm / 8” – 9”)
Size 2: Medium/Large (foot circumference 23cm – 25cm / 9” – 9.75”)

Further sizes can be achieved by going up or down a needle size. The length of the leg/sock can be easily adjusted by knitting more or less of the plain stockinette section of the leg/foot.
