We now offer handy kits of this pattern. All kits include enough yarn to make these cosy socks along with a limited edition button badge and a fab project bag to keep it all safe. Happy knitting! Please be aware this kit does not include the pattern as it is in our Annual – and we know many of you will have one already. Please visit this link to pick one up if you need a copy of the pattern.
The Wildner Top Socks pattern is designed by one of our Mill Folk, Sonja, for our Annual (issue two).
