I have been looking for ages for a sock pattern that I like and this one is so pretty it cold be used for bedsocks. I have been a knitter since I was 12 and am an avid collecgtor of patterns. Thank you for this one my daughter will want to knit them as well.

That is nice post; I admire your work here. It seems to me your grandmother was a great knitter. I like your style.

The original pdf uses a font called Calibri, which is a new Microsoft Office 2007 Font.

I’ve updated the pdf so that it uses Arial.

I would like very much to knit these socks, but when I download the PDF my computer is unable to find a font that matches, so it is all in gibberish. Any idea what font was used, or how to fix this little glitch for me?
Thanks!

I’m a Nan of three semi-knitter Daughters and Nan to ten assorted Grandchildren and yes, I too knit socks in various horrible colours, all the same pattern – sadly, very plain. Your Grandma would be so proud and pleased to know that her pattern lives on through you. Knitting a pair of socks and handing them over is an act of love like nothing else. For the whole time the socks are being knitted, the thought of the recipient is always in my mind together with the knowledge that no matter what befalls them, at least their feet will be warm and comfortable. Does that make any sense? I’m off to twiddle up a bit of Natural Dye Studio yarn in a rose pink mix with warm thoughts of your Grandma.

She would have been so proud of you, let me tell you that. x
