We’re heading to the remote Scottish island of Summerisle for this little cat-socky homage to to the classic folk horror film The Wicker Man. I’ve taken the maypole image from that film and run with with for a sharp geometric pattern, topped with cats.

The pattern has two sets of charts, so that you can knit yourself mirror-image symmetrical socks if you want.

Sizing

Full details are provided for five leg circumferences (15.5cm, 17.75cm, 20cm, 22.25cm & 24.5cm), and there’s plenty of guidance for adjusting the leg and foot lengths.

Toes and heels

There ae full instructions for flap & gusset, short row & afterthought heels, as well as round and wedge-shaped toes. You can choose the heel and toe that suits you!

This is the third sock in The Year Of Catsock Adventures, an expanding collection of eight catsocks released throughout 2024. There’s a new pattern released every two months, plus two very scrap-friendly socks at the end.
