Caterpillar Sock
knitting pattern

This top-down sock in five sizes features a sprightly caterpillar motif in knits and purls which extends down the leg and over the top of the foot.
Sock is easily converted to toe-up construction, as the pattern is vertically reversible and may be resized by using different yarn weights or needles.
