Carapins socks kit

A kit for knitting the Carapins slippers, designed by Rosa Pomar for Cobertor. This pattern was originally published in the book 52 Weeks of Socks by Laine Publishing. This kit includes the pattern in English.

These slippers are worked cuff-down and in the round using the traditional Portuguese heel and spiral toe. They are purled all the way, so this might be the perfect opportunity to try or practise the Portuguese knitting style, which makes purling easier and faster than knitting. The Carapins are finished through light felting and teaseling so that a dense nap is raised on the knit side (which is the inside).
