For Cattyblossom we’re going outside to the garden to sniff the flowers, chase a butterfly, have a little potter around the raised beds and then snooze in the sunshine.

This latest sock is a little technique salad. As well as a smidge of catty colourwork there are two new techniques - helical stripes and dipstitches.

Sizing

Full details are provided for five leg circumferences (15.5cm, 17.75cm, 20cm, 22.25cm & 24.5cm), and there’s plenty of guidance for adjusting the leg and foot lengths.

Toes and heels

There ae full instructions for flap & gusset, short row & afterthought heels, as well as round and wedge-shaped toes. You can choose the heel and toe that suits you!

This is the fourth sock in The Year Of Catsock Adventures, an expanding collection of eight catsocks released throughout 2024. There’s a new pattern released every two months, plus two very scrap-friendly socks at the end.
