How absolutely adorable are these socks with a Kitty Cat stitch on the cuff? I do enjoy making socks. They are easy too! Have you been afraid of making a pair of socks? Well worry no more! These socks are quick! So many ways to customize them!
Adding flannel pads to the “Kitty Cat Cuff Socks” make them so cozy. I was so inspired by the kitty cat flannel that I had to make a second pair and so that I could add the flannel pads. 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?
WAIT! There’s more, a “Contrasting Heel” and the pattern is written so that you can add a Contrasting Toe also. This makes 6 options.
1. Cat Nose and Whiskers
2. Striped Rib Cuff with Shell Edging
3. Kitty Kat Stitch Cuff
4. Contrasting Toe
5. Contrasting Heel
6. Contrasting Toe and Heel
