Nothing says happy like stripes, and Pippi socks are just that: joyful to knit and guaranteed to put a smile on your face when you wear them.

Worked toe up with a comfy wedge toe, Pippi skips through cheeky, playful stripes, a neat gusset and heel flap, and finishes with a sweet little colourwork flower, freshly plucked from Pippi’s garden.

They’re jolly, whimsical, and just what your feet (and your hands) deserve.

Knit in cosy DK-weight yarn, Pippi socks fly off the needles. Without the teeny stitches, toeup techniques feel less fiddly and quicker to master, making them a brilliant choice for adventurous toe-up beginners as well as seasoned sock knitters.

With clear written instructions for the foot, heel and leg, plus a chart for the colourwork cuff, Pippi brings all the charm and plenty of fun to keep you smiling while you knit.
