Knitted in worsted weight wool, these heavy socks for older children (2 sizes) will fit best with boots or worn as slippers. The design features a gathered toe and an Afterthought Heel. Knit your floats loosely for best fit.

This pattern was developed to support the nonprofit, secular aid organization Wool-Aid, which provides hand-knit and hand-crocheted garments to children in need in the the coldest and most remote parts of the world. For more information, go to Wool-Aid or join their Ravelry group.
