Knitting pattern for Ibbi socks

The Ibbi socks are socks with beautiful cable patterns that lay elegantly on the top of the foot. On the back of the shaft, the rib pattern continues, ensuring that the sock fits incredibly well on the foot. The sock is knitted with a heel flap and gusset – an all-round sock suitable for all types of feet.

Wear these socks with sneakers or boots to create your own personale style, where the cables will be visible over the sneakers or boots. Ibbi socks is designed for 1st advent in December, as part of our 2024 advent calendar.

We have knitted the socks in our soft and durable Önling No 18, made from 75% non-superwash wool and 25% recycled PET (plastic) bottles.
