Cordelia says “Nothing”
This design is inspired by Cordelia, the youngest daughter of King Lear.

The design has a central panel which looks like hearts; these representing Cordelia’s love. The panel is bordered by two columns symbolising Cordelia’s strength and humanity. Beads are discretely placed within the central panel while the back of the leg has a simple cable and ribbing.

The socks are a relatively simple knit and are knitted toe up and feature a rounded wedge toe and heel flap and gusset.
