Yes, my “Going to the Dog Socks” pattern is done and setting on the self of my Etsy store. The pattern includes, fitted right/left toe; a simple 2 by 2 rib on the instep; my short row neat and sweet heel, a double knit picture panel and the smooth finish of an invisible bind off.
Why the double knit picture panel? Double knitting is much more stretchy than Fair Isle knitting. There are no floats to deal with and you don’t have to worry about the tension getting too tight. And… besides, the best part is that there are no yarns to catch your toes on. So, just for your viewing pleasure I have started a Video Tips page that includes a short clip on my way of double knitting. There are lots of instructions on the web and YouTube. Don’t be afraid to try it.
Get your pattern, here.
Enjoy!
