Next year will be the 20th anniversary of the release of the Monkey Socks by Cookie A in Knitty Magazine. These went absolutely viral and were part of why Cookie A is considered a legendary designer (her sock club and sock knitting books are also part of that legacy). This pattern has well over 20,000 projects on ravelry.
This is my third pair, I knit it pretty soon after release and another pair soon after. Both of those are unsurprisingly worn out, but this is still a classic pattern that absolutely sucks you in until you realize you've already made another repeat and its way past bedtime.
Knitty is a free web-only knitting magazine with a sense of humor. Fun patterns, fabulous articles. Come and see for yourself!
