Part three of our monochrome baby knit-along has landed! This time, we’re making the sweetest little pair of animal-themed socks — one styled as a cuddly koala, and the other as a playful panda. Worked in soft black, white, and grey yarns, these mismatched-yet-coordinated socks are full of charm and perfect for keeping tiny toes toasty. With simple shaping and cute stitched details, they knit up quickly and add a lovely dose of personality to your handmade baby gift set.
