It feels like ages since I’ve had the chance to get the hooks out and enjoy some crocheting time. I’ve been looking for some nice sock patterns to follow and I stumbled across a lovely free pattern by Zeens and Roger. They will be perfect to wear with my wellies whilst on a cold walk up the canals or for cuddling up on the sofa with a good book. Either way, they will get a lot of use!
Do pop over to Rosina’s blog for lots more inspiration.
*My socks are a medium which is 5-6 UK, however, Rosina has included the rounds for a size small, medium and large.
