The name of the Lakolk socks comes from a beach on the Danish coast. They are an ode to the ever-changing but still constant landscape created by the sand, the sea and the light.

The digital download contains the pattern in English and Swedish. The Finnish & Japanese versions are only available in the book 52 x villasukat OSA II.
