I really like the striped cuff with a shell edge on the pair of socks pictured.

The cat nose and whiskers make them so whimsical. Leave them off and they become functional. The striped ribbing on the cuff seems to have a swirled effect. 

Adding flannel pads to the “Purrr-fect Socks” makes them so cozy.

I was so inspired by this adorable kitty cat flannel that I had to make a second pair of socks with a “Kitty Cat Stitch” on the cuff!  The nose and whiskers was next. If you are a dog lover add puppy dog flannel. It shouldn’t be hard to add a dog nose and tongue, should it?

You can also add a “Contrasting Heel” to your kitty socks.

This is written into the pattern, and  is written so that you can add a Contrasting Toe also. This makes 5 options.
1. Cat Nose and Whiskers
2. Striped Rib Cuff with Shell Edging
3. Contrasting Toe
4. Contrasting Heel
5. Contrasting Toe and Heel

You will find the Toddler size below. If you would like to purchase an ad free pattern that includes charts and photos, they are found at Ravelry and Etsy.
