Lazy Leopard Socks

**This pattern comes with a free gift! It includes a free, extra pattern! :-)** *Leopard is back in fashion and it couldn’t make me happier! For those who are a bit scared to fully plunge into this trend, I designed this fun sock pattern to secretly let your inner diva shine. Combine these socks with black loafers, black jeans and a red (hand knitted sweater), and you’ll be ready to kick some ass!* **KEY INFORMATION** **Sizes:** Adults. Length and circumference are both adjustable. **Measurements:** Foot circumference: 22 cm / 9 inches. You can adjust the foot circumference by using bigger or smaller needles. The length is also adjustable. **Gauge:** 30 sts x 41 rows in stockinette stitch = 10 x 10 cm (4 x 4 inches) after blocking. **Suggested needles:** 2.50 mm circular or double pointed needles (US 1.5).
