Free pattern: edible knitted thong

What better way to tell someone they are the object of your desire than with one of knitting's favourite scandal patterns, a lovely red licorice knitted thong?

Dawn Payne's free pattern for the 302 Calories knitted thong appeared on Knitty, the free patterns website of which the mere mention will light up the eyes of any knitter in the know, back in 2004 but it seems to resurface every Valentine's Day with shedloads of folks looking for something to knit for the one they love.

All the knitted thong requires is a pair of chopsticks, a couple of packets of strawberry licorice, a backwards loop cast on and a bit of sticky knitting. Sweet, simple and slightly disturbing.

Pass on a pair of purled pants this Valentine's Day. Go on.
