Description

As part of our Closing Chapter sale, all yarn—including yarn in this kit—is specially priced. Kit prices reflect the sale price.

Inspired by lush gardens and mossy stones these beautifully textured socks, designed by Enda Taylor, feature a diamond cable and basket stitch pattern. The socks are worked from the cuff down, starting with 2x2 ribbing at the cuff, which transitions into a cable pattern and a basket stitch pattern down the leg. A garter stitch heel flap is then worked, and the foot of the sock is knitted in stockinette stitch and basket stitch. Ambleside Sock is a great project for more experienced sock knitters looking for a textured pair of socks in our luxury eco-friendly yarn Amble.

Amble is a fingering-weight yarn specially designed for sock knitting. It is made from a blend of machine washable Merino wool and alpaca for comfort, and recycled nylon for strength. The Merino wool and alpaca fibres have been treated using an eco-friendly alternative to the superwash process, which makes this project truly something you can be proud of.
