The Olympia Twins are cuff-down socks featuring a stripe pattern with very few rounds of stranded colourwork, so it’s a lot less likely (I dare say impossible!) you will end up with a sock that doesn’t fit. The pattern is easy to remember, so you can bring this project wherever you go.

It is a simple top-down, hooded pullover that can be adapted in so many ways, so feel free to use your creativity to make it your own! Share your progress on Ins...
