Batty Socks

This sock pattern was designed with a toe-up construction and features little bats that are created from simple three stitch cables. The fun part of the pattern is that you get to place the bats whenever you like using the instructions. Use any self-striping yarn you’d like and place your bats as frequently as you want. Worked with a heel flap construction and a quick 1x1 rib.
