Discontinued. This digital pattern is no longer available online.

This pattern and the others in the Socks For Big Damn Heroes collection are currently on hiatus and awaiting a pattern reformat. I hope to have them back up soon!

Even classy and stylish geishas of the future, like Inara Serra, need a little comfort luxury just for themselves now and then. Still, a few elegant cables and rich colours might not be enough – sometimes you might need a little shimmer and sparkle, which these socks add to your wardrobe through the application of a few beads. These are worked from the cuff down, on DPNs or Magic Loop method.
One of three Firefly-inspired sock patterns.
