Several years ago, my Meatballs and Macaroni Socks won a prize at the County Fair in the Original Knit Design category. I've revised the design and now offer it to you. Although the pattern is not strictly speaking a "tutorial," I've included notes and recommendations to help you achieve a spectacular result while having a great time knitting up the socks. The Appendix includes a mini-lesson on doing a knitted cast on and grafting with the Kitchener stitch. I also include recommendations on how to avoid those unsightly holes and enlarged stitches when picking up stitches for the gusset.

I had a lot of fun designing these socks. I hope you have fun making them! As with all my designs, please contact me at the Email addre
