Limberlost Socks
Twisting trees, deep pools, and moss-covered stones inspire a combination of quick-to-knit moss stitch and cables in this cozy sock based on A Girl of the Limberlost by Gene Stratton-Porter.
Sample shown in Stressknits Yarn, color way: Ophelia.
Drawing inspiration from some favorite stories of my childhood, the Hygge Canyon Lit Trilogy I features three sock patterns with simple texture and addictive cablework.
