Hungry Shark Sock Knit Pattern
Who doesn’t love a hungry shark/monster taking a bite out of your foot! These socks are super unique and will go with pretty much anything! They are a simple top down sock with a comfy toe box and make-shift gills that also act as ankle cinching support!
Due to the nature of the pattern these can only be made up to a size XL. They are a shorter sock though, and sections can be left unknit to make them even shorter, so they should fit just about anyone from the ankle down!
Full, easy to follow instructions for kitchener graft and embroidered embellishments. Please note I do not currently offer instructions on how to embroider.
