Interlocking Circles Kit

The Interlocking Circles socks feature a beautiful geometric pattern, the perfect challenge to improve your colourwork skills. The design uses three contrasting colours but with the longest float being just five stitches, wrapping floats is optional. Made in Amble, the cosy blend of wool and alpaca together with the added warmth of colourwork, these socks will keep your feet nice and warm.

The socks are knit from the top down with a short row heel. Instructions for shadow wrap short rows are included in the pattern.
