Soft and Warm – Hand knitted socks are a real treat for your feet. Follow my free knitting pattern and knit up a pair for the little one in your life.
Materials
This pair is knitted from 75% Wool – 25% Nylon. The wool content contains 35% luxurious Bluefaced Leicester making this one of the most sumptuous yarns availible. It’s also locally spun in Keighley, West Yorkshire.
I use 3.25mm double pointed needles for the main sock knitting and 3mm double pointed needles for the cuffs. You could use the magic loop method with this knitting pattern, personally I prefer to use double pointed needles but it’s totally up to you.
