TÊTE-À-TÊTE SOCKS by Twinset & Purl
I designed these pretty colour work socks in collaboration with Botanical Yarn, for 2022’s Flower Power Fund Appeal which raises money to help Marie Curie provide care, guidance, and support to people living with a terminal illness in the UK. They are named after a miniature Narcissus ‘Tête-â-Tête’.
All the proceeds from the sale of this pattern will be donated to Marie Curie forever.
Marie Curie is a registered charity (Charity Reg. No. 207994 (England & Wales) SCO38731 (Scotland).

Needles: 2.5 mm / US 1.5 (or size needed to get gauge) plus needles one size larger for the colour work if needed. I used a 2.75 mm 9-inch circular needle. Please be aware, the colour work can
produce a tighter gauge which can make it difficult to get the sock over your heel.
