Cuddly Kitty Socks

Discover the delightful charm of our kitty-inspired shortie sock pattern available separately here, on Ravelry, or within the exclusive Issue 18 of the Addicted to Sock Knitting ezine.

This whimsical pair of shortie socks showcases adorable kitties engaged in playful activities—playing, pouncing, lounging, stretching, and even ignoring their surroundings. Each design element is inspired by my own cat, Lacey, who shares my passion for yarn and all things knitted. If you're a cat lover and a knitting enthusiast, this pattern is sure to bring you joy!

These socks are expertly knitted from the toe-up, featuring a comfortable short row heel for a perfect fit. The unique stranded pattern on the sole of the foot displays an array of playful cats strategically arranged over the top. While the cats are spaced closely for a traditional stranded knitting look, I’ve incorporated the innovative Ladderback Jacquard technique for added texture and interest. An accompanying tutorial and a helpful YouTube video are included, making it easy for you to master this technique and enhance your knitting skills.

Needles: Use 2.75 mm DPNs (US size 2) for the best results.

Sizes Available: S/M/L (20/22.5/25 cm / 8/9/10 inches). Please note that these socks are designed without ease, ensuring a snug fit.

Yarn Requirements: You will need 1 skein of Opal Handwork and Hobby and 1 skein of WYS Signature 4 ply to complete this project.

This delightful pattern has undergone thorough technical editing by sproutsnknits and has been test knitted by talented users monciont and salome2001. They have ensured that the instructions are clear and easy to follow for knitters of all skill levels.
