Tash Socks

My daughter has been begging me for AGES to make some socks for her TY Beanie Boo Tasha. Well, we've had three snow days in a row and I needed to know how much the cardboard in the middle weighs (What's That Thing Called?) so I finally made them.  I don't know that anyone else will ever want this pattern, but I figured that I might as well post it just in case there were any others out there with Beanie Boos that have cold feet.

They are really quick to make and I'm sure they could easily be made following the same pattern with a light weight yarn rather than the crochet cotton.  Here it is.
