As soon as I saw these socks on Ravelry, I knew I just had to knit them. Charlie’s paws (my golden retriever) have always amused me and his pads have always had a slight aroma of cheesy wotsits. I adore them, when he was a puppy they were particularly cute but even some 9 years later I still love them. When I say I love the ground he walks on, I really do.

The pattern is called Pyewacket socks and I knit them up in Handmaiden Fine Yarn Casbah Sock in colourway Sangria. 2.5 mm needle.

The yarn is gorgeous, 80% merino, 10% nylon for strength and 10% cashmere which takes it onto another level for sock yarn. Also if you so wish, (although I have finally learnt to hand wash socks) it is machine washable.
