Mad Larks is the second instalment of the Old Maiden Aunt/Karie Westermann 2015 Sock Club.

The pattern is inspired by Victorian gentlemen’s clubs where fine brandy was consumed amid tales of travelling the globe and map-making.

Warning: wearing these socks may cause the wearer to head for unexplored corners of the world. Neither the dyer nor designer can held responsible for the consequences of any such behaviour.

(Please note that the best way to ensure a comfortable fit is to take time to check your gauge. The sample was knitted on a 2.5mm needle by a sample knitter, yet I got gauge on a 2.25mm needle. You may need to go up or down a needle size to get gauge.)
