FO Friday: Monkeying Around

This week I finished my Monkey socks! These are my first set of Monkeys by Cookie A. I can see why people find this pattern so addictive, and they fit like a dream.



They were knit up two at a time in Dream in Color Smooshy with Cashmere in Flashy Mint. If you remember about a month ago. I was absolutely raving about of much I was in love with this yarn. And that was just when it was in the skein! As socks, the colors play great with the stitch pattern and they are super comfy.  And comfy socks are pretty high on my list of things that are awesome.


They are delectably smooshy. I might have a new favorite pair of socks!

    I need to find that pattern. I am suddenly addicted to sock knitting and need more patterns to use my accumulating sock yarn collection :)

    They look wonderful! When I made monkeys, I used a sort of variegated/self-striping yarn and I sort of hated them. Now every time I see good color choices like yours I'm reminded of how fun and easy they were to knit. It's no wonder it's such a popular pattern.
