Product Details

Silver-footed Thetis, or disposer or "placer" (the one who places), was a sea-nymph and the Goddess of Water. She was also the leader of the fifty Nereids. The Nereids, Haliad Nymphs or goddesses of the sea, were the patrons of sailors and fishermen. They came to the aid of sailors in distress and took care of the sea's rich bounty. Individually, they also represented various facets of the sea including fish, salty brine, foam, sand, rocky shores, waves and currents, and sailing and safe voyages.

This pattern uses beads along with twisted stitches, lace, and cables to depict Thetis and her sea nymphs watching over their realm from deep within a kelp forest. For this pattern, I recommend using solid or low contrast yarn to showcase the intricate stitch work, but any color way of your choice will work. Twisted stitch and cable work can also limit the stretchiness of the finished sock, so either use a yarn that is springy, use larger needles, or size up.
