Knitting pattern for Idalina socks

Idalina is a short, feminine sock featuring a picot edge and a ruffle to emphasize its delicate look. The sock is designed with a classic reinforced gusset heel and banded toe, ensuring a comfortable fit. It is knitted from the top down from the leg to the toe in stockinette stitch, and looks equally charming in sandals or sneakers – whether paired with shorts, a skirt, or cropped pants.

Idalina is knitted in our sock yarn Önling No 18, a soft and durable blend of non-superwash wool and recycled PET bottles.

Note! You will need to find the silk mohair in your leftover yarn scraps! Use a silk mohair, or another lace weight yarn, with a yardage of 210 meters pr 25 g / 230 yards pr ball. You will need 50 meters / 55 yards equivalent to 5 g for all sizes.

Designed by Inge-Lis Holst for Önling.
