Promotion! 20% off Cow-zy Socks until Sunday, October 18 — no code needed! :)

A moo-velous addition to your sock box! I’ve been receiving targeted ads for cow print anything these days, but instead of buying cow print shoes I’d only wear a few times, I thought knitting my own socks would be so much more practical! And isn’t cow print just the perfect neutral? Of course, you can pick any color for your Cow-zy Socks (strawberry cow even!)

Don’t forget to knit a matching Cow-zy Scrunchie!!

TECHNIQUES
These socks are knit cuff-down with a choice of a picot cuff or ribbed cuff, a wrap and turn heel, and an all-over colorwork chart, plus an optional toe detail colorwork chart. The toe is closed using three-needle bind off.

SIZING
The sock pattern is written for 3 sizes: S (M, L). The socks are designed to fit an approximate foot circumference 8” (9”, 10”) or approximately 20 (23, 25 ½) cm. This can vary based on gauge, needle size, and sock fit preference. Please ensure that your chosen size matches with your knitting style materials, and preferred fit. The sample is shown in size S width and a women’s size 6 foot length.

GAUGE
In blocked stockinette stitch, 4” x 4” (10cm x 10cm) = 32 sts x 36 rounds
