There is a matching cowl pattern! :smiley:

Worked from the top down, utilizing simple slipped stitches the “I’d Rather Dot” sock is the perfect relaxing pattern when you’d rather not do anything but knit the day away. Use up all those gorgeous leftovers in the slipped stitch stripes worked on the leg and foot, or pick 2, 3, 4 favorite (or team) colors… the options are limitless.

I knit my socks with one (40 inch) circular needle using the magic loop technique. Testers used two circular needles, one 9 inch circular needle and DPNs. Use the method you are most comfortable with.
