3rd Grade Crayfish Socks
The good news… when my son was in 3rd grade, his class did a super fun & educational science unit on crayfish. The bad news… my son was one of the “lucky winners” who got to take a crayfish home at the end of the unit, and it lived FOREVER. This pattern (with its cable stitch on the leg that looks like a crayfish claw) is written in memory of the 3rd grade crayfish. May he rest in peace.
3rd Grade Crayfish Socks are worked top down and have a fun little cable on the leg that continues down the sides of the foot. The pattern comes in 5 sizes, so they’ll fit anyone from a 3rd grader up to an adult with big feet. Both written directions and charts are provided. The pattern is easy to memorize, making this a great project to knit on the go.
Sizes: Extra Small (Small, Medium, Large, Extra Large) to fit a leg/foot circumference of 6 - 7 (7 - 8, 8 - 9, 9 - 10, 10 - 11)” or 15 - 18 (18 - 20.5, 20.5 - 23, 23 - 25.5, 25.5 - 28) cm.
Gauge in stockinette: 32 sts over 4” (10 cm) or 8 sts per inch.
Skill Level: Adventurous beginner or intermediate. If you’ve already knit plain socks, this is a great next step.
Yarn: 275 - 475 yds (250 - 435 m) fingering weight yarn.
