Description

Knit the legendary Wonder Sock – a clever and economical design from the wartime rationing era!
This vintage pattern is ideal for experienced knitters and uses 4 needles (double-pointed) to create
a durable sock that never needs full darning.

Smart Design: Knit with replaceable heels and toes so the sock body stays intact when worn down
simply re-knit the worn part and keep going.

Customize Weight:

  • Use 3 ply yarn (approx. 120g / 4oz) for lighter socks
  • Use 4 ply yarn (approx. 150g / 5oz) for heavier wear
  • Needle sizes: Old UK sizes No. 14 (3 ply) or No. 12 (4 ply)

Will fit approx. a 10-inch foot
