Charybdis Sock pattern

In Greek mythology, Charybdis was a sea monster who belched out water in a menacing and deadly whirlpool. There’s nothing menacing about the toe up construction of these socks or deadly about their simple short row heel, but there are whirlpools- a simple stitch pattern winds its way across each instep and spirals up the leg of each sock.

Scylla Sock pattern

Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water, here comes the second part of a deadly sea monster double act with Charybdis! Accounts of Scylla’s appearance don’t quite match up as to her number of heads, tentacles, etc (perhaps no one stuck around long enough for a proper look?). But they all agree she had scales. And teeth. And lots of them. Pretty much like these toe-up socks that use slipstitch patterns to create teeth and scales a-plenty.
