Taking inspiration from the mission and guidelines of Wool-Aid, the Woolie 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 Woolie Socks are worked with worsted weight wool yarn held with a fingering superwash wool blend. The socks are worked with a K1 x P1 cuff, and K3 x P1 leg and instep. 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 are helpful.
Finished size: foot length 10”, (9”, 8”); leg height 10”,(9”, 9”)
