The Ladies of Luxe Club was inspired by women of luxury throughout history. As a lifelong fan of the Royals, I chose Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, otherwise known as Princess Kate, as the inspiration for this design. I love Kate’s style and her ability to combine the simple with the luxurious, and I have worked my take on that into this sparkly sock. These socks are designed to be an easy first sock pattern, while being pretty so that even advanced knitters want to knit them.

Lace is both written and charted.
