These cheerful little guys were for another friend, and similar to the bee socks, also involved duplicate stitch. It turns out that I’m not always good at following patterns. Like with this pattern. From the whole pattern, I only ended up using the chart for the skulls. Even the size of the heel flap is different. I did originally try to make the heel according to the pattern, but it unfortunately did not turn out well. Second try, using duplicate stitch, turned out great, even though the pink yarn is a bit finer than the black. To try and account for that, I cheated and had my mom knit the heel flaps for me, since she’s a super tight knitter. I think we even went down a needle size. We debated using different yarns and techniques, but we both really loved the contrast between the hot pink and true black.
