Cookie A Socks

Do you know Cookie A? If not, you are really missing out on some simple, easy, and fun sock patterns. I have made two of her patterns: Monkey and Spring Forward; they are both free from Knitty.com. How about that!? I think what makes her pattern so special is her focus on the simple math so that it's repeatable and addicting. Try it out, I guarantee you will be impressed with the outcome.

I finished one of two (of course, socks come in pairs right?!)

 I have to "graft" these stitches to finish it off, but I am too lazy to find my book on how to do this...


I made two copies of that pattern so I don't have to flip the pages back and forth. A counter is a must for this project. By the way, have you had those Hi-Chews? They are from Japan and just like this pattern, they are addicting! I can eat a whole pack by the time I am on the second pattern repeat!

Socks - Monkey

Here is a picture of the Monkey socks by Cookie A. I made for my mom. I really liked the way it came out. This is a free pattern through Knitty. I used two skeins of Schachenmayr Nomotta Regia Silk with size US 1 dp needles. Try it out! I think you will enjoy it too!
