Originally designed for The Loveliest Yarn Company Sock Club, I fell in love with the lace pattern but didn’t come up with a name for the pattern until i dyed the yarn! Combined they became these Moulin Rouge Socks!

This is a good project to move to if you have knit a pair of plain socks before and want to make your next pair a little more exciting.

Finished sock size: 17.5 (19, 20, 21.5) cm / 7 (7.5, 8, 8.5) ins
