The Caterpillar wraps around the leg of the sock with textured mushrooms on the heel and instep. The Caterpillar, mushrooms, and little tufts of grass are formed with cables and slipped stitches; the socks are mirrored.

Caterpillar’s Advice Socks are part of the Curiouser & Curiouser Sock Collection which also includes Mock Turtle Socks, Queen of Tarts Socks, and Mad Teapot Socks.

The Caterpillar is the only creature in Wonderland who actually give Alice a useful piece of advice …

“The Caterpillar got down off the mushroom, and crawled away in the grass, merely remarking as it went, ‘One side will make you grow taller, and the other side will make you grow shorter.’

‘One side of what? The other side of what?” thought Alice to herself.

‘Of the mushroom,’ said the Caterpillar, just as if she had asked it aloud …”

These socks are suitable for both men and women. Four sizes (S, M, L, & XL) are charted so you can make these socks for almost anyone.
