Vintage Fairy Lights Socks

Inspired by the sparkle of the vintage fairy lights which played a starring role in so many childhood Christmas memories, these socks are intended to evoke a mood of nostalgia and comfort. There’s an easy textured pattern on the top which brings to mind those old-fashioned Christmas lights, with a straightforward rib on the leg: something easy to relax you as you sit knitting and waiting for Santa. The socks are finished with a traditional heel flap and gusset. The sample is knit from yarn that was dyed especially for this pattern by Hedgerow Yarns, but any sock yarn (especially with a bit of sparkle!) will be perfect.
