Last year a friend sent me this:

and asked if I could make them. And I said No… I don’t knit, but I could make these:

And she said yes! So I did.

First a practice run:

Then the real thing:

I think I prefer the purple colour, but not the yarn, and I used this pattern, mostly. The red yarn is 5ply wool crepe, which my Mum had told was really lovely to work with, and as Mum’s tend to be, she was right!

They are super cute, soft and stretchy and if anyone wants a pair please message me or see my Etsy page.
