Knitting Pattern: Lumme Socks (by Minttu Wikberg)

Among the waterlily leaves and flowers, a delicate dragonfly flies. Hand-dyed light colored yarn gives life to the flowers.

The pattern for the Lumme socks was previously published in Beloved Patterns & Birger Kaipiainen knitting magazine, where the inspiration came from Birger Kaipiainen’s iconic ceramic designs.
