Ardently Socks
The Ardently Socks pattern is a sweet spring ankle sock that embodies Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice. Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy have to overcome mis-steps and miscommunications before they arrive at a perfectly harmonious relationship. With this project, you’ll explore criss-crossing ribbed cables for those missed moments, two colors that contrast but work beautifully (like our main characters), and some additional ribbing for a perfect fit.
Yarn
You’ll need one (1) approx. 100 g skein and one approx. 10 g mini skeins of fingering weight yarn.
