Melt Socks

$10.00

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

Maybe these socks will melt your heart? They are knit cuff down, starting with an Italian Tubular Cast On. The leg and instep feature an interesting texture created by casting off yarn overs: much simpler than it sounds, and very addictive to knit! The pattern is written in two sizes, with instructions for how to adjust the length of the foot to fit you and your knitworthy friends and family.

When you buy a Dear Pru knitting pattern, you’ll get a PDF sent to your email and can grab it from your account. We’ll keep you posted on updates.

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! 🌟🧶
