Product Details

In Twelfth Night, following a shipwreck, Viola finds herself separated from her twin brother and thus alone in the world. To ensure her safety, she disguises herself as a man, all the while knowing herself to be a woman. These socks feature a lacy, beaded, feminine cuff that can be hidden underneath a pant leg. The twisted lattice on the lower leg and foot could easily be a man’s stocking in Illyria.

These socks are knit from the cuff down, starting with a beaded hem at the cuff, and use a heel flap and gusset and wide toe. The stitch patterns are both written and charted.

This pattern has been professionally tech edited.
