Dark and Deep Socks
Inspired by the deep forests of our imaginations—from the dark woods of Sleepy Hollow to the Black Forest of the Grimms’ fairytales—this sock pattern features two leaves intricately woven into 2x2 ribbing.
Sample is knit in A Homespun House Enchanted Sock Set, an October 2018 club offering.
I designed this pattern to be an addictive, quick knit for Soctober 2020, perfect for Sock Clubs and Sock Sets.
