Nordic Socks

The Nordic Socks pattern is now available in the Shop and on Ravelry.

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.
