Taking inspiration from the mission and guidelines of Wool-Aid, the Wintery Socks are designed to create a warm woolen pair of socks for a child who lives in the coldest climate and has the least access to resources. The Wintery Socks are worked with worsted weight wool yarn held with a fingering superwash wool blend. The socks are worked as a K2 x P2 rib, with optional modifications for Rib & Ridges, and Rib Interrupted. These socks utilize an after-thought heel. The pattern is written with modifications for three sizes. This may be considered an intermediate level pattern because knowledge of sock (and stitch) construction is helpful.

Finished size: foot length 10”, (9”, 8”); leg height 10”,(9”, 9”)

Enjoying the awesomeness for an organization such as Wool-Aid, I am offering the pattern for free. Please, enjoy this pattern making many pair of Wintery Socks, and sending them to charities such as Wool-Aid. Thank you, Marilynn
