Mock Croc Socks are done.

They finished blocking this morning. I unfortunately don’t have sock blockers so I just wet block them by flattening them out into shape on our chest of drawers. It’s not perfect, but it certainly helps make the heel and toes look a bit better.

The fabric of this sock is wonderfully stretchy and I think I may even have been able to make the smaller size, even with my instep. I’m also thinking these could easily work as knee highs without much modification.

This pair is also my January sock for the Sock a Month 5 KAL which I’ll post to tomorrow as it is getting a wee bit late here.

Pattern: Mock Croc Socks (on Ravelry )
Yarn: Jaeger Matchmaker Merino 4 ply
Needles: 2.5mm DPNs
Mods: Eye of Partridge heel flap and heightened instep
