Welcome to Ancient Arts Yarns
2024 Summer Shorties Sock Club
The club will run for three months - June, July, and August. You can order the sock kit (yarn and pattern) for each month individually, or you can order the
Three Sock Set which will have all three kits ship together.
June's offering is CROCUS SHORTIES by Barb Brown
June's design is called Crocus Shorties and are inspired by pretty spring flowers. Barb's mom planted spring flower bulbs everywhere in their yard, and the first flowers to open each year were the crocuses. The sight of these flowers always says spring is really here and brings joy to everyone who sees them. The lace pattern in the socks reminded Barb of those welcome harbingers of the summer to come so she chose it as a celebration of the start of summer!
These shorties only require one skein of fingering weight yarn, preferably in a semi-solid colour so that the lace will be able to shine. The delicate lace pattern is very approachable, and they are knit top down with a picot cast-on and heel flap.
Zoom meeting - Saturday June 8th, 10-11 am MST. Zoom links will be emailed to you one week prior. The pattern download will be emailed to you June 7th, 2024.
