The Batten Slipper Sock knitting kit – worsted by Sarah Opie<\/p>\n
This is the Worsted Weight version of the Batten Slipper Sock, originally designed in DK Weight.<\/p>\n
Here’s a beautiful slipper sock that’s stylish, quick, and very easy to make. Very well-written pattern. At each step, a video is included in the pattern to show you how to execute it. In other words, it’s an excellent pattern to start knitting with an English pattern! <\/p>\n
*I’ve made a kit selection, however you can click here: Merlin and choose the colorway of your choice, selecting 2 or 3 skeins in the colorway of your choice.<\/p>\n
The Batten slipper sock knitting kit includes:<\/p>\n
2 or three skeins of 354 meters of Merlin, (80% merino – 20% nylon).<\/p>\n
* For this pattern, I held a double strand (2 strands of Merlin knit together, the nylon for more durability. Equivalent to a worsted weight yarn)<\/p>\n
240 (275) 330 (385) meters<\/p>\n
