These are the kind of poppies that ride mopeds, listen to The Who and hang out on Carnaby Street. They’ll greet you with a cheery ‘Wotcha’ when you put them on in the morning and call ‘Toodle-pip’ when you put them in the hamper at the end of the day.

The poppies come to life with some cool wrapped stitches. Due to the nature of ribbing and wrapping, there can be variance in the sock’s give depending on your tension and the tightness of your wraps. Don’t be afraid to play around a little with the wrapping till you get the right tension.

The floral detail along the toe line gives your socks that little something extra when you’re padding about the house without shoes on.

PS: Due to recent tax changes, if you’re from the EU and would like to obtain the pattern, just message me, as I’m just waiting to see how things develop.
