Knitting kit for Ilia socks in Önling No 18
Ilia is a sock with a lovely lace pattern that extends across the entire front of the sock, while the underside is knitted in stockinette stitch. The sock features a well-fitting shadow wrap heel, which is incredibly easy to knit.
The sock will look great with a pair of Birkenstock sandals in spring, or as a warm and feminine addition to your sneakers in autumn.
Ilia is knitted in our sock yarn Önling No 18, a soft and durable blend of non-superwash wool and recycled PET bottles.
This kit contains: Önling No 18 and a digital pattern

Please note: The price of the yarn kit is calculated based on the amount of yarn included, which is the amount we have used to knit the design according to the above measurements. Should you need more yarn, additional yarn can be purchased at regular prices by placing an order and state lot number in the comment box at checkout. All designs have been thoroughly calculated and tested.
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.
