A number of people have used this pattern to honor or memorialize a favorite furry friend with yarn that reminded them of the animal.  Ray at Knitivity does custom dying of yarn to match images you send, so if you're interested in having these socks be a truly special reminder of a pet, please check out his custom dying services.

This pattern should be considered an intermediate level sock pattern. In addition to combining a stranded pattern with a simple lace pattern, these socks feature a picot cuff, a short row heel with the whisker design carried through on them and special design elements on the top and bottom of the toe. The left and right socks are mirror images of each other so as to provide symmetry at the heels.

Price: $5.75
