Florence
Hot chocolate lovers on thundery days need Florence socks to accompany their thick warm cups of deliciousness.
In fact, they’re so good that your Florence socks may also bring the added benefit of warmth, calm and a splash of special!
Begin at the top and wind your way down Florence’s striking cables and over her quilted leg. You’ll create a comfy heel flap before turning the corner, and hey presto! Quickly finding yourself choosing between two fantastic toes to finish.
Including both charts and written instructions, Florence is the ideal sock pattern for knitters wanting a quick and fun project.
