About the Kit
This Year of the Sock: Oregon Trail Kit contains: Two beautiful, 100 gram skeins of Lattes & Llamas Vacation Yarn in “Palpatine” and “Grassland”, hand-dyed with enough yardage for you to knit a pair of the Oregon Trail Socks; a cheeky project bag for your socks; and a set of the Coffee Queen stitch markers, hand-crafted by Megan-Anne. The pattern is NOT included in this kit. Learn more about where to download the free pattern in the “Important Pattern Information” section below.
Important Pattern Information
This kit does NOT include the actual Oregon Trail Sock pattern. The four clues must be downloaded from our website or Ravelry as they are released. See release schedule below for dates. Direct links will be added to this page as clues are released. Don’t want to miss any of the clue releases? Then join our mailing list!
Size 1(2, 3, 4) has a 7.11(8, 8.88, 9.7) inch foot circumference.
Please note that sometimes colors and textures look different on your computer screen than they do in person. If we had the power to fix this, we’d probably be billionaires. And we’d totally still make yarn.
