Leopard is back in fashion and it couldn’t make me happier! For those who are a bit scared to fully plunge into this trend, I designed this fun sock pattern to secretly let your inner diva shine. Combine these socks with black loafers, black jeans and a red (hand knitted sweater), and you’ll be ready to kick some ass!

CONSTRUCTION NOTES

Lazy Leopard Socks are knitted top down and seamlessly. First you knit the 2x2 rib stitch cuff. Continue knitting the leg using the fair isle pattern chart A or B found on the last two pages. Then shape the heel with German short rows. The foot is knitted in chart A or B again. Finish the socks by shaping the toes.
