Dear Pru

Leiden Socks Knitting Pattern by Pru Raymond

Leiden Socks

$10.00

This product is a digital knitting pattern designed by Pru Raymond.

Leiden is a versatile stranded colourwork sock pattern in two sizes. Tulips adorn the heel and toe, reinforcing the area of most wear. The leg and foot feature a simple stripe pattern punctuated with a slipped stitch which creates a jogless join as well as adding interest. Instructions are provided for working the socks toe up or cuff down.

But remember, these patterns are just for you and your knitworthy friends and family to enjoy- no selling of the PDF pattern or items knitted from the pattern. Happy knitting! 🌟🧶
