This sock pattern was inspired by some Koigu yarn that I bought for another project that really didn’t work out. The more I looked at it, the more it reminded me of those fuzzy orange caterpillars that I see all over the place in the Spring. I decided to see what it would look like on a pair of socks, and here is the result.

This is more a design concept than a pattern in that you can use any variegated yarn that you wish that will knit to the gauge specified.

The socks in the cover photo were knit by Tanya in Minneapolis and she also took the photos. Thanks so much for doing such a great job, Tanya!
