My contribution to the January SKA KAL:
A lovely, simple little pattern. That’s assuming you like knitting 2×2 rib. If you don’t, then this is not the pattern for you. I modified the pattern to my standard 4 year old size so they would fit Thing 1, and switch out the eye of partridge heel to my standard slip stitch heel. I love the look of eye of partridge, but knitting it drives me batty. The slip stitch heel has burnt itself into my knitting brain and my muscle memory gives me a hard time if I try to deviate from that.
This would make a fabulous man sock. In fact, many of Erica Lueder’s patterns would make wonderful man socks, which is great since I’m always looking for simple yet interesting sock patterns for on-the-go knitting. And I have a man. And he likes hand knit socks. It all works out. :)
