This is my 2026 contribution to the Scary Sock KAL
This sock is based on the award winning short film of the same name.
There is a link to the film in the pattern

A simple top down sock with a short row heel to fit a medium woman’s foot is included in this pattern, but to be honest you could use any plain vanilla sock in any size as the base. The fun comes from the embellishments.
An icord mouth, filled with as many teeth as you want, a protruding tongue and a couple of buttons for eyes and suddenly your plain sock has transformed into a sock monster!
If you are making this for small children I would recommend replacing the button eyes with embroidery for safety, but it is entirely up to you.
I look forwards to seeing all your sock monsters in due course
