Notes

A quintessential Dr. Seuss character, the Squink drinks pink ink, subsequently turning red. For the kid in all of us, this toe-up, textured sock is even easy enough for a novice sock knitter, using knits, purls, yarn-overs and to spice things up with a bit of a challenge, purl 3 togethers.

60 sts.

CO 12, increase to 30 ea needle, three rows even, start patterning.

Sock height from sole to cuff top: 9”

Love the textures; there’s only knits, purls, yarn-overs, and purl 3 togethers involved. The outcome is a supercozy sock.

NOTE: Should you rather have an allover texture instead of eyelets, simply exchange kfb* for the yo’s.
