Love and Patches Socks

A well loved teddy - bear, dog or cat,

Patched up with this and mended with that.

More than an object or passing trend, More like a loved one, companion and friend.

Soaked up tears of yours or those you’ve adored, Been dragged through puddles and half shut in doors.

Mended with love, fabric and time, Worthless to others, irreplaceably mine.

These socks are lovingly covered in different patches just like our poem. The pattern contains three sizes, small, medium, and large. These socks are knit top down with a slip stitch heel flap and a gusset construction. There’s enough detail and variation in the pattern to keep the knitting interesting, but nothing that should be too tricky for a new sock knitter to master. This whimsical design would look beautiful in almost any yarn, perhaps you could raid your scrap basket for the perfect shades to represent your well loved cuddly companion
