Nordic Socks
It was so wonderful to be there, safe at home, sheltered from the winds and the cold. Laura thought that this must be a little like heaven, where the weary are at rest. Laura Ingalls Wilder.
I hope that we all feel safe and warm this season. ♥
This pattern has a lovely Latvian braid enclosing the beautiful leaves that encircle the legs of these socks. The braid is simply a special arrangement of knit and purl stitches. The sock is worked top-down.
