FO: Emergency socks
The emergency socks have been gifted, so now I can talk about them.
Yarn: ArtYarns Ultramerino 8, less than 1 skein
Needles: US 4 Options
Pattern: My own. Cast on 36 sts, knit 4 rows. Knit 1 row of yo/k2tog, then knit another 4 rows. Tack down the picot by knitting one stitch on the needle together with one from the cast-on edge. The yo/k2tog row makes the jaggies. I have also heard it called cat's tooth. Then I knit another 14 rounds, did a basic heel flap heel on 18 stitches, and a basic toe. As simple as they can get.
I am surprised, however, at how much they match. The banding is almost identical, and I didn't even try to match them:
Also, Fee says "Don't I have the prettiest fur ever??"
(I think so.) Grady was not available for comment. Happy Tuesday!

The emergency socks are beautiful! (Any knitter will understand how socks can be "emergencies"!)
They look SO comfy.
I had to tell you the first time I ever understood the picot cast on was just now... your directions totally made sense ;) thanks, oh and the socks look great!!
I love the picot edge and the yarn - and that kitty has the most beautiful eyes!
Great minds think alike - I just used that same colorway in their super merino for a baby blanket. Such cheery colors! I love the cord you tied the socks with - how did you do that?
These are so cute! I love them.
Love the pattern, love the yarn. Now I want to make some too!
They looks so...squooshy! And where did you find that little charm to gift them with? That's too cool!
Darling socks, I love the colors.
Love the socks...and where did you find the Hand Made Charm...too cute...
