Knitting kit for Iben socks in Önling No 18, sock yarn
Ibbi sock is a sock with beautiful cables running down the leg and foot. On the backside of the leg, you find the rib stitch pattern for a firm fit. This sock is worked with heel flap and gusset – an all-round heel for all types of feet.
Wear these socks with sneakers or boots to create your own personale style, where the cables will be visible over the sneakers or boots. Ibbi socks is designed for 1st advent in December, as part of our 2024 advent calendar.
We have knitted the socks in our soft and durable Önling No 18, made from 75% non-superwash wool and 25% recycled PET (plastic) bottles.

ABOUT PATTERNS FROM ÖNLING
In 95% of all kits from Önling, you get a digital pattern and yarn when you buy a kit. Read more about how to get hold of your digital knitting pattern here.
In very few cases, however, we provide a printed pattern rather than a digital one:
- When you buy a kit for ALL designs from PetiteKnit's, you will receive a printed, pattern together with your yarn, as we are unfortunately not allowed to sell Petite Knits' patterns digitally.
- When you buy a kit for a design from selected books (e.g. Helga Isager), you sometimes have to buy the book separately, in cases where the patterns are not released to be sold separately. It will always be clearly described in the product title, with for example "xx kit, excluding pattern", when the pattern is not included.
- All patterns from Isager are delivered as a printed pattern, as we do not have access to sell these digitally. You will receive your pattern along with your yarn shipment.
Wool can last for years, but it requires good care. Washing is tough on your woolen garments and in general wool needs to be washed much less than other materials as it has a self-cleaning effect.
