This design was inspired by a well-worn pair of socks gifted to me many years ago by a lovely knitter. Whenever I am under the weather with a flu or cold, I pull on my Magic Socks and instantly feel the warmth radiate from the tips of my toes to the top of my head. I am quite sure these socks possess the same healing properties as chicken noodle soup!

Very quick and satisfying to knit with limitless colour possibilities, Simply Marl-velous Socks produce a nice thick comfy feel on the feet and are suitable to wear as boot or house socks.

To achieve the Simply Marl-velous effect, knit these socks with a strand of each colour held together throughout.

Three 50g balls of each colour will produce two pairs of socks in any size.

Gift idea - Knit a pair for a friend or family member and wrap up inside a small basket filled with flu or cold remedies, instant soup packages and herbal teas. A gift of comfort and love!
