Festive Mistletoe Socks Kit

Drawing inspiration from traditional Scandinavian-style colorwork, the Festive Mistletoe Socks feature charming motifs of holly leaves, mistletoe, and snow. The stranded colorwork uses only two shades per round with short floats, making this project accessible to beginners while offering a thoroughly enjoyable experience for more advanced knitters. Once you complete the cuff and colorwork sections, the rest of the knitting shifts into a smooth and relaxing stockinette stitch. Using three seasonal shades of The Fibre Co.’s Amble, these socks will not only keep your toes cozy but also infuse every stitch with the festive spirit.

Amble is a specially designed sock yarn, thoughtfully crafted by combining eco-friendly, washable wool and alpaca with recycled nylon for strength and durability. This yarn stands out as the perfect choice for projects like the Festive Mistletoe Socks, where softness and strength are desired.

Kit comes in the "Petite Tote". A minimalist essential for every maker, this is the perfect bag for small projects. Designed with knitters and crocheters in mind, this charming project tote is crafted from 100% natural cotton with spun poly webbed straps that are both soft in the hand and strong enough for everyday use. Its flat-bottom design makes it easy to stand upright, while the roomy interior comfortably holds up to 300 g of yarn, along with needles, hooks, and essential project tools. Lightweight and stylish, the Petite Tote is ideal for small projects on the go—perfect for tucking into a larger bag or carrying on its own.
