I know socks as a gift get a bad reputation for being boring, but not these kawaii cuties.

Panda Stripes Socks are black and white striped socks with a panda face on each leg: two knitted ears, embroidered eyelashes and pink cheeks, and a magenta heel and toe. They come in six sizes, from older children right up to adults, so most of the family can have a pair. Just not the babies, these are not sized for such little feet.

The cuff and leg are worked flat, which keeps the small intarsia chart super simple. Then the sock is joined in the round with a heel flap and gusset, so there are no seams under the foot to rub. The chart is also written out line by line for the chart averse, and the Kitchener stitch toe is explained step by step. The instructions are clear and easy to follow, and one ball of each colour makes a pair in every size.

Designed by Jane Burns. I've been creating knitting and crochet patterns for babies and children for 18 years, so you can trust this one is as straightforward to follow as it looks.
