Another new project? After vowing to finish three projects this month? I know ... but after finishing one, a baby blanket for an expecting friend, I saw these adorable snake socks in Sue Whiting's book, Cute Knits for Baby Feet. I couldn't resist making these as a "big brother" present! And yes, these were fast--you could make these in a single day if you have the luxury of knitting without the frequent interruptions of little ones! :-D
Pattern: Snake Socksss by Sue Whiting (size 3/4)
Needles: Size 3 and size 6 straight needles
Yarn: Lion Brand Wool, approx. 1/3 of each skein (this pattern would be an excellent stashbuster!)
Modifications: I omitted about seven rows of the stripe repeat on the leg portion of the sock. It just seemed long enough already! I don't regret that decision--they are almost knee socks even with my modification!
The verdict? Fun and adorable! My model liked them so much, I just might have to make another pair for her!

They are so adorable! I can see why the model loved them. I'm tempted to make an adult pair for a snake owning friend of mine.
soo cute!! I have never seen those before but i LOVE them! I think the colors you chose look great, too.
oooh, those are beyond adorable! I love the little snake tongue too.
So adorable! I just love them! Although I find it strange that the pattern is written flat with seaming, what a hassle!
Completely adorable! And the colors are awesome, even if they aren't 'traditional' snake colors. Who wants traditional snake colors anyway? LOL
Oh my goodness how cute are those?! I agree, I love the reverse side of striped fabric.
Oh my, those are too cute! I can just see my kiddos running around in them.
Those are adorable and well worth deviating from your other projects!
Lovely socks! The tongue it's an incredible detail.
