Lineage Socks Kit

Ainsworth & Prin Classic Sock + Knitting Pattern

The Knitting Shed

Socks to keep your whole family's feet warm and snug. The socks are knit from the cuff down; the leg is worked in a rib and garter pattern which changes to rib across the instep, and the heel flap is in rib with a garter-stitch edge. This kit includes the printed pattern and a full skein of Ainsworth & Prin Classic Sock as the main colour.

NOTE: this design also uses two small amounts of contrast colours which are not included in this kit. We recommend using scrap yarn in your stash, or using a mini skein of sock yarn.

You are purchasing a printed knitting pattern and yarn, not the item itself.
