Hot Sweaty Monkey Sox

Well, I've finished my Monkey Socks. Design by Cookie A. One of her most popular designs and that for a reason. The yarn is the wonderful Malabrigo Sock yarn in Ravelry Red. Lovely colour. I love red. I'll probably knit a couple more skeins in this colour.

The pattern is quite easy, a couple of increases and decreases, suitable for the long train ride to and from work. And after having finished them, I'm still not bored. And maybe I'll even knit another pair.

But I still don't get why these are called Monkey Socks. They look more like fishscales to me.
