Let me know if the magic of itunes doesn’t like this! Or if you spot a mistake!

There was an error in the first version which said you needed 2000 yards of yarn for a pair of socks. I have corrected this to 500 yards which is about 1/4 mile which is what Lime and Violet estimated it at.

May the power of itunes deliver this pdf to you safely. Let me know if you spot a mistake although the pattern is very forgiving. Definitely a good one for beginners!
