Maggie

Idyllic is a good book, hot tea and a warm blanket. And, of course, cosy DK cabled socks.

Maggie socks improve even the coldest, greyest days by bringing beauty and a comfy fit to your toes.

In plump DK, Maggie socks with her pleasing cables are knitted from the cuff-down and can be whipped up in a flash.

They look wonderful peeking out from just the right shoes and include a comfy heel flap and two great toe options.

Maggie includes both charts and written instructions and is the perfect pattern for knitters keen for some quick sock fun.
