Miriam Felton Eleanora Socks PDF

Knit a bit of history with the Eleanora Socks from Miriam Felton. The style and variety of textured stitch patterns on these socks are inspired by the socks found in the tomb of Eleanoro de Toledo, the wife of Cosimo I de’Medici, the Grand Duke of Tuscany. Eleanora Socks are knit from the cuff down in the round with a heel flap and gusset. Stitch patterns are both charted and written out.
