Franken Block Socks

Introducing our vibrant Monster Socks knitting pattern, a colorful tribute to Glenn Strange’s iconic portrayal of the monster in *House of Frankenstein*. These delightful socks are a playful twist on classic black and white films, showcasing a stunning array of colors that will elevate your sock collection.

The design features ragged scars around the legs, symbolizing the monster's haunting past, and is crafted from a patchwork of assorted colored blocks. These Monster Socks are perfect for knitters looking to creatively use up sock yarn scraps along with a 50g ball of your chosen main color. This pattern isn’t just an enjoyable project; it’s also a unique way to add flair to your wardrobe!

Inspired by the iconic imagery of the monster strapped to the operating table, these socks include a clever design that features the feet securely strapped to the soles. The knitting technique employed for this pattern is a combination of “cuff down” construction, executed with both circular and flat knitting, ensuring that no seaming is required for a polished finish.

To achieve the best results with these Monster Socks, it’s essential to use either 2 circular needles or a set of 5 double-pointed needles (dpns) due to the intricate color work involved. Alternative methods may lead to awkward needle rearranging, compromising your knitting experience. Our pattern is explicitly written for 2 circulars, but if you prefer to use dpns, simply divide the stitches evenly: place a quarter of the stitches on each needle, with N1 and N2 functioning as circular needle N1, and N3 and N4 working as circular needle N2. This allows for smooth transitions and a comfortable knitting flow.

Embrace your creativity and add a touch of horror-inspired charm to your sock drawer with these one-of-a-kind Monster Socks. Begin your knitting adventure today, and let your talents bring the colorful spirit of classic monster cinema to life!
