Description

A collection of 50 patterns for traditional Latvian socks with a contemporary twist.


There are 50 different styles to choose from including simpler variations of the socks such as leg warmers and ankle socks, so even inexperienced knitters can create a beautiful design. Knit yourself a pair of stunning Latvian socks with this collection of traditional Latvian sock knitting patterns.


Knitted socks have always played an important role in traditional Latvian culture: girls are taught to knit at a young age and it is traditional for brides to give socks and mittens as a gift to guests on their wedding day.
