If you’ve been following me on Instagram and Facebook this week, you will know that I have a new pattern out, the Munstead socks.
You see, I was asked to design a pair of socks to raise money for Treasure Chest. This is an awesome charity that supports people who are having or have had surgery for breast cancer at Glan Clwyd hospital in north Wales.
I think most of us know someone who has had breast cancer, and I know I won’t be alone in having lost someone to it. So, when I was asked to be involved, it was really an obvious thing to say yes.
The pattern is the Munstead Socks. If you know your lavender, you might know that Munstead is a variety of English lavender. There is a whole lavender theme going on here, you see. The panel down the outside of the sock depicts a sprig of lavender using simple cables and twisted stitches. And the yarn I used is lavender themed too. Siobhan of Siobhan’s Crafts dyed this gorgeous yarn, also to support Treasure Chest.
The pattern comes in four adult sizes, and is incredibly easy to adapt either the leg length or the foot length.
And how does it raise money for Treasure Chest? 80% of the income from sales throughout October 2022 from this sock pattern will be donated to Treasure Chest. Using the price in GBP, this means that £4.80 of the money you pay for the pattern will go to this wonderful cause.
If you love this pattern as much as I do, and if you want to support this wonderful charity, then head over to Ravelry or Payhip and get your copy now.
