A kit for Rosa Pomar's Tia Barborita socks.
A pattern inspired by a pair of socks made by Tia Barborita (“aunt Barborita”). Tia Barborita lives in the village of Panoias (southern Alentejo, Portugal). Forty years ago she used to knit socks for her daughter and this was her favorite pattern. The original socks were made of fine cotton but my version is designed for modern sock yarn. They are knitted using the traditional Portuguese knitting techniques: knitting in the round on five double pointed needles and always purling unless absolutely necessary. They begin at the cuff and end with a simple spiral shaped toe.
Size: women's 37-39.
Needles (not included): 2.5mm dpns.
The kit includes:
- one skein of Mondim yarn
- pattern in English and Portuguese (sent by email via Ravelry)
- 100% cotton project bag
If choosing the "Choose color" option, please use the notes field in your shopping cart to indicate which shade of Mondim you prefer.
