Kissing Kitties Colourwork Socks
If you’re a cat lover like I am, you won’t want to miss this delightful sock pattern inspired by Andrea Rangel’s stunning colourwork stitch dictionary. Designed specifically for fans of feline-themed knitting, this pair of socks features charming kitty motifs that will bring a smile to your face while you knit. The designs remind me of my two beloved tomcats, Jim and Norman, who are inseparable companions. The pattern includes explicit permission to incorporate these lovely motifs, making it a joy to create something uniquely yours.
This sock pattern is expertly crafted from the cuff down, utilizing a traditional heel flap construction for a classic fit. The colourwork design is charted for easy reference, featuring stranded colourwork techniques that create a beautiful visual texture. Keep in mind that when working with long floats, it's essential to twist the yarn halfway through to avoid any snagging or tension issues, ensuring your finished socks are as comfortable as they are pretty.
What shoe sizes can be knit?
The fantastic news is that this pattern is fully adjustable to fit any shoe size! Comprehensive instructions guide you on how long to knit before beginning the toe shaping, allowing for a completely customized fit that suits your personal style. Just remember, the longer the sock, the more yarn you will require. When working with a 4ply/fingering weight yarn, a 100g skein (which yields approximately 400m to 425m) should comfortably create up to a UK Size 10 sock. So gather your yarn and needles, and let’s create adorable kitty socks that will keep your feet snug and warm!
