Utility Two Kit

Ainsworth & Prin Plump Sock DK + Knitting Pattern

The Knitting Shed

Utility Two has the distinctive stripe of a no-nonsense herringbone tweed, but a squishy DK sock yarn gives it a soft cosiness. This kit includes the printed pattern and two contrasting shades of Ainsworth & Prin Plump Sock DK. For the best stripe definition, choose a solid or semi-solid shade alongside a contrasting one.

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