The Stonefruit Socks are featured in the ebook collection: Raincloud & Sage Sock Club Spring. They are a quick and fun pair of ankle socks featuring a simple eyelet lace cuff, knit from just one skein of R&S Nord.

R&S Sock Club is an ebook collection focusing on socks knit from natural (non-superwash, no nylon) yarns. All the patterns and content is intended to inform & inspire your sock knitting process. This pattern incorporates one of my top tips for knitting socks with no nylon- adding slipped stitches to areas of high wear to increase the strength of the fabric.

The Ebook is available for digital download as a single purchase or as part of a kit (with the Nord yarn required for the pattern) via the Raincloud and Sage Website.
