THIS FABULOUS design from Aleks Byrd has a geometric stripe and floral pattern created using roosimine, an Estonian inlay knitting technique. Aleks has used John Arbon’s Exmoor Sock yarn for the main fabric of the sock, and the inlay patterning uses two shades of John Arbon’s Appledore DK, which is available in 25g mini skeins as well as full-sized 100g skeins.
