The tulip is one of my favourite flowers! I love the endless variety of colours it comes in and how it can brighten up a whole room with its exuberance! The most common meaning of this flower is “perfect and deep love”. So these socks are the perfect gift for someone you hold dear!

One size. Finished and blocked socks measure:
Length of the foot: approx. 22.5 cm/8.8”
Circumference: approx. 21 cm/8.3”.

Size can be adjusted by using smaller or larger sized needles. You can also make the socks longer or shorter by adding or removing stitches before the toes.

CC3: Lang Yarns Jawoll 266 (Purple)
CC4: Arwetta 267 (Lavender Frost)

MC: 50 g

One ball of yarn: 50 g = 210 meters/230 yards. You can replace these suggestions with any other yarn of the same weight, pre­ferably a woolmix for socks, for better durability.
