I wanted to put out a summer sale for all my previous oldies but goodies and give you all the chance to get them a little bit cheaper if you've been eyeing up any you'd like, it will go to supporting some newer designs I have under my wing which I'd love to start developing and put out into the world.

SUMMER SALE is currently on use Coupon Code: TIMSUMMERSALE and receive 10% off all patterns till September 20th 2024 

Edge of Dijon is a Top Down Sock worked in the round with a heel flap and gusset construction and an anatomical shaped toe for comfort.
Designed in two fittings, a slouchy and fitted which can be worn separately or together adding extra warmth and comfort to the cold Winter season.
The slouchy version is designed to be worn over other socks as a house slipper.

The original sock design had already been loved previously by so many knitters who’ve used the slouchy version with it’s wider fitting as a fitted sock.
For someone who may suffer with swollen feet or need wider fittings and struggle to find sock patterns this might be a perfect alternative or addition to your handmade wardrobe.
