Everyone who has tried these on, or even just stuck a hand inside, has let out an involuntary sigh. With a thick, soft cushion of insulating fibre on the sole and around the cuffs they're the key to instantly warm toes. The secret is thrumming, a traditional technique used to create super warm mittens in chilly Newfoundland and Labrador. Every few stitches a wee bit of unspun fibre is worked into a stitch creating a fun pattern on the outside. The loose ends create a thick, fluffy layer on the inside just like a sheepskin. We like using bright thrums against a neutral background but there are endless options to use up stash and play with colours. With ten sizes covering little kids to big guys you’ll be able to keep everyone’s toes cozy.

I think boot toppers/cuffs are pretty darn cute. They close the gap between the top of your boot and your pants that are tucked in (or leggings), and add an element of design.

Pattern and introduction by Jane Cochran Like many knitters, I love to knit socks. They're a portable project that’s good to have stashed in a purse or bag. They're as simple or as complicated as I want them to be, and I can experiment with stitches and yarn without making a commitment to a larger

My first blog was called 'Seasons of Violet'. The intent was to write about the different seasons of my life as they happened, like an online diary. Then I discovered knitting blogs and started 'Stitches of Violet'. It was wonderful. I 'met' so many like minded, friendly people and enjoyed almost a decade of posting about knitting, dogs, granddaughters, and birds. Now I have moved into a new 'Season'. There is little time for knitting, all my dogs are waiting at the Rainbow Bridge, one granddaughter is now an adult, and the birds I enjoyed are left behind for someone else to feed in Paw Paw/Almena, Michigan. This is a happy, busy season with my new husband. We have places to go, things to do while we're still able and I have no desire to blog them. The blogging 'Season' of my life is over. Blessings to everyone who reads this. Marguerite Hammond

Please note: This listing is for a PDF knitting pattern download only, NOT for a physical item. Pattern is in English only. The sizes listed below are the sizes for the pattern.

Crikey! is a cuff down sock which has a continuous textured stitch pattern across the body, designed to mimic a crocodile’s skin, raised eyes, nose bobbles, a gapping maw, and arms and legs! If you desire a sock that is wearable in shoes, you can follow the instructions for extending the leg length, and sew the back legs high enough to avoid the heel. For children sizes, please view my pattern, ‘Crikey Jr.’ This pattern is written under the assumption that you understand the basics of a sock. Though instructions are written in the pattern, I am not writing why things are done. This pattern is recommended for advanced knitters, or intermediate knitters who are willing to stretch their skills. Not recommended for beginners. In the pattern you will find all knit instructions, as well as a pattern for the crocodile teeth, and instructions how to sew the buttons on to mimic pupils. The pattern is very detailed and has 21 pages! Any sock weight yarn would be great for this pattern! A variegated green yarn is especially fabulous for this pattern, but any green yarn will work, or, if you’re feeling whimsical, pick a non green yarn. Unfortunately, the yarn I used has been discontinued by the seller. That happened after I created the pattern, but there are tons of other great yarns to use.

I am a toe-up sock knitter. There are lots of reasons why I made the switch to toe up socks after knitting a few pairs of cuff down socks but the main reason is pretty straightforward.

You might’ve seen my pattern Crikey! lurking around the murky waters of the internet. But Crikey was only for adult sock wearers!

Check out the last two pictures of Crikey! the adult sized pattern. Child sizes will fit very similarly, with some slight variation due to kid proportions.) Like the adult pattern, these socks have a continuous textured stitch pattern across the body designed to mimic a crocodile’s skin, raised eyes, nose bobbles, a gapping maw, and arms and legs!

In the pattern you will find all knit instructions, a template for the crocodile teeth, and instructions how to sew the buttons on to mimic pupils. The pattern is 18 pages long, Any sock weight yarn would be great for this pattern!
