Fallanden Forest socks
35% off all patterns with code HAPPYBIRTHDAY until end of 14 November.
Fallanden Forest socks are inspired by the view from our window of the tall pine trees across the field from us and a dedication to the forest that’s helped keep us well throughout 2020. I couldn’t resist recreating the pine trees in the distance with fields of long grass and then the lace pattern representing the forest floor and the undergrowth below.
These socks are knit from the cuff down with a 2 x 2 ribbed cuff, stripes, a ribbed heel-flap and gusset and have a section of colourwork on the leg. After the colourwork and the foot there is an easy, memorizable lace pattern (no cable needle required!). This pattern uses the magic loop circular needle method (but can be knit with dpns).
