Have you ever wanted your feet to be adorned with a whimsical pair of socks, reminiscent of your favourite childhood picture book? Well if you have, then I have the sock pattern for you!

This pattern is written with a novice sock knitter in mind, who has the basic knitting knowledge of knitting, purling, increasing and decreasing, and wants to try their first pair of socks. The instructions are in depth and written out step by step, with photos to aid with construction.

I want to give everyone the opportunity to try knitting these socks, so you can use the below pattern codes for discounts at checkout. I appreciate if you would like to and are in the position to support my work, so I have set the price at $3AUD, but the 50% and 100% off codes below will be available from publishing onwards.

50% off - HAPPYKNITTING50
100% off - HAPPYKNITTING100

You can reach out to me for pattern support/questions at lutkoknits@gmail.com. This is my first pattern, so any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

Happy knitting!
