Bring a little creepy-crawly charm to your knitting with the Bugged Out Socks! This playful top-down sock knitting pattern features a repeating insect motif around the cuff, perfect for adding a quirky, nature-inspired touch to your handmade wardrobe. Worked in the round with 2.25mm needles and fingering weight yarn, the Bugged Out Socks come in five sizes (XS–XL) with adjustable foot lengths for the perfect fit.

Whether you’re a fan of bold, colourful knits or prefer a subtle nod to the natural world, these socks are fully customisable in colour to match your style. Great for gift knitting or as a small, satisfying project for yourself, Bugged Out is ideal for adventurous beginners and intermediate knitters who love fun, whimsical sock designs.

The Bugged Out socks are very adaptable to your style. Change up the cuff, toe, or heel colour for a completely different look, knit the insect motif just on the leg or continue it down the whole sock, or even work only a single repeat of the motif for a subtle touch. This flexibility makes it the perfect project for using leftover yarn, experimenting with colour, or tailoring your socks to suit the recipient.
