This pattern is also available for wholesale customers as a taster kit that includes a drawstring yarn bag, a QR code pattern card and just the right quantity of yarn:
One Sock
The Fibre Co. Amble (70% wool, 20% alpaca, 10% recycled nylon, 325 m (355 yds) per 100g hank) – 1 [1: 1: 1: 1: 1: 1: 1: 1: 2: 2] hanks. Approximate yardage: 120 [140: 160: 180: 220: 240: 260: 300: 320: 360: 380] m (130 [155: 175: 200: 240: 265: 285: 330: 350: 395: 420] yds).
Note: If you wish to work a much longer leg, Sizes 8 and 9 will likely need another hank of yarn.
One Sock Baby
The Fibre Co. Cumbria (60% merino wool, 30% masham wool, 10% mohair; 218 m (238 yd) per 100g hank) – 1 hank. Approx. yardage used 50 [65: 85: 110] m (45 [60: 75: 100] yd per pair)
If you’ve not made socks before, grab some leftover DK or worsted weight yarn and make the first size of the baby sock. It’s the simplest version of the pattern, a very quick knit, and it teaches you everything you need to know!
The full-size sock pattern uses the same overall process but has a few key differences: more stitches and longer lengths, of course, and a snugger ribbing for improved fit. The heel flap and turn are worked in a reinforcement stitch pattern to help the socks last a long time.
