Inspired by my love of crazy Christmas sweaters, I wanted to design a crazy pair of Christmas socks! This pair of top down socks certainly qualifies. You start by knitting the ears and the antlers and join those to the sock when casting on the cuff. After the ribbed cuff it’s smooth sailing with a vanilla sock. When your socks are finished you can embroider on a face or add a pompom nose!
