Knitting kit for Idalina socks in Önling No 18
Idalina is a short, feminine sock featuring a picot edge and a ruffle to emphasize its delicate look. The sock is designed with a classic reinforced gusset heel and banded toe, ensuring a comfortable fit. It is knitted from the top down from the leg to the toe in stockinette stitch, and looks equally charming in sandals or sneakers – whether paired with shorts, a skirt, or cropped pants.
Idalina is knitted in our sock yarn Önling No 18, a soft and durable blend of non-superwash wool and recycled PET bottles.
Note! You will need to find the silk mohair in your leftover yarn scraps! Use a silk mohair, or another lace weight yarn, with a yardage of 210 meters pr 25 g / 230 yards pr ball. You will need 50 meters / 55 yards equivalent to 5 g for all sizes.
This kit contains: Önling No 18 for the selected size and color and a digital pattern. Silk mohair is not included in the kit.

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.
