These knee-high ladies’ Nordic-style socks make a toasty leg covering for cool days, and will certainly impress everyone you know!

The socks are knitted in the round using stranded technique on 2.5mm/US1½ needles at a tension of 44 rounds and 38 stitches to 10cm/4″.

The pattern gives full instructions for knitting each element of the sock with all relevant charts included. It also provides clear guidance for adapting the calf for different sizes, and provides a choice of two foot lengths (‘short -medium’, and ‘long’).

Materials required are 100g each of two contrasting 4ply (fingering-weight) sock yarn and some knitting-in elastic (for the cuffs).

Although this original design is inspired by the fiction of J.K. Rowling, it is not official or licensed merchandise, and should not be perceived as such.

The pattern is also available in ‘Novel Knits’ (see ‘Books’).

Please note: Durmstrang is the first pattern I ever published. It needs updating to reflect the quality and style that I have since developed, hence the low price.
