My musical inspiration for these socks was the song ‘Thursday’s Child’ by Tanita Tikaram. I admit, I have no idea what the song is all about, but I love the happy folksy spirit of the melody, so I chose a playful all-over stitch pattern to go with this feeling.

You can choose to work the all-over slip-stitch pattern from the charts or the written instructions.

Material: 1 skein of fingering weight yarn with a yardage of approximately 400 m (440 yds) per 100 g.

32 sts /58 rows = 10 cm/4” in Butterfly Leg pattern, blocked
