Saundra is my 1 year old German Shepherd, rescued at 3 months old she suffered a near fatal illness and was left lame in all four limbs. I adopted her shortly afterward and we have been working hard to rebuild her muscles with Hydrotherapy, Physical Therapy, Acupuncture and supplements. It is likely that her joints are far too damaged to allow her to walk so we look forward to Saundra getting around in a mobility cart.

This wonderful pattern is a generous donation from Mary Griffiths, a loving contribution to generate support for Saundra’s recovery and to inspire others to share their enthusiasm for the welfare of animals in need.

Pattern written and designed by Mary Griffiths, a very special Thank You to Kate and Anne for editing !

Mary has addressed the smallest details of sock knitting , as well as stranded color work in this design, and while this might be considered an intermediate pattern, it is also perfect for learning new skills. Includes two separate charts for small /medium size sock.

Skills
•Knitting in the round on circular
needles or DPN’s
•Stranded colour work.
•Long tail or similar very stretchy
cast on.
•Short rows for turning the heel of the sock
•Picking up stitches on a garter stitch edge.
•Reading simple knitting charts

Materials.
•70 g approx of sock yarn or four ply
in each of two contrasting colours or 100g sock yarn or 4 ply in main colour and 50g approx in a contrast (if
making two socks the same)

The sock was tested in Wollmeise twin which is a little thicker than many sock yarns

100% of the proceeds generated from this pattern go to support Saundra’s recovery.
