MAGGIE’S SOCKS by Twinset & Purl

All proceeds from the sale of this pattern will always go to Maggie’s Centre Oxford

These socks were designed following on from the success of the Maggie’s Shawl as another charity pattern to raise money for Maggie’s Centre at the Churchill Hospital in Oxford, UK (Registered Charity Number SC024414) Maggies.org. Maggie’s is a lovely place where cancer patients and their families can receive counselling and support or just a friendly face with a cup of tea and a biscuit. We praise them for everything they do and hope that this pattern conveys some of the gratitude we feel for the service they provide.
