Calling all frugal knitters! Three fun, top-down sock patterns for what you might normally pay for only one!

Like your favourite chips, these socks have lots of different flavours of rib. The varying amounts of knit and purl help move flashes in variegated yarn around. Of course, they’d look great in plainer colours too. Raid your stash!

Not for those who are beige of heart, Ciel is a sweet monster who likes bright colours and the latest fashion trends. Use up to eight colours to make her really eye-popping!

Square, squishy little bunnies who are happy to join you for tea!

Come along on the adventure as your stitches travel there and back again on these wonderfully textured socks.

Dodge and Parry features two different motifs, all done just with knits and purls.

Get out all your best sock scraps - here is a pattern to make them all look smashing! Simple ribbing and easy stripes make for a dynamic looking combination. No one would ever guess these were made of leftovers! (And you only have to tell if you want to).

So you’re just about to head home after a long day at work and your boss corners you to tell you that he’s just scheduled a 5 hour long meeting tomorrow. “OMG” you think “5 hours?! WTF is he going to talk about for 5 hours? I’d better wear my comfy pants… and my special meeting socks!”

Armour-like scales offer protection for your feet, while ribbing offers squishiness. Ahhh!

Monte is a small monster who likes to hide in corners, play video games and read stories. Unlike many other monsters, Monte is very quiet, and not particularly destructive.

Spiky Teeth climb up and down your feet and legs, cautioning those around you: Take care! Or I’ll gnash my awful teeth at you!

BRAINNSSSSS…mmmmm…uuhhhhhhh

It’s a blanket! It’s a toy! It’s Draggo, the flat Monster! Draggo is a great friend to drag around with you, although he’d rather stay home and watch the Weather Network. Not to worry though, baby Blob is very friendly and loves to hang out, either in Draggo’s pocket, or with you!

Really teeny monsters who love to get into everything, and are small enough to do it. So teeny you can knit them up in less than two hours, so much fun you’ll want to make a whole army of them.

Tiny little monsters who might do your bidding if you feed them (hint: they like peanut butter toast crumbs and limburger cheese). They’re great to hang on a Christmas tree, hide in a stocking or carry around in your purse for company. Just be careful with your fingers – they bite.

Ever wonder where all those single socks go? You might have a Sock Monster! They love socks. They can be helpful too though, because they love munching dust bunnies for dessert!

Tiny cabled chains run down the leg and foot of each sock. Simple enough for the guy in your life who doesn’t like “fancy stuff”, but nice enough for the girls too. Chain Drive would look good in all but the most highly variegated yarns, so raid your stash and have at it!

Want to be sure Santa drops by your place this year?

Here’s a great way to use up your scrap sock yarn!

Wouldn’t you much rather build a snowman inside rather than have to go out into the cold, wet snow? Cozy Snowman prefers to sit by a roaring fire with a nice warm blanket and a mug of hot cocoa. Best of all, he doesn’t melt!
