Product Details

I was inspired by Patricia Ballantyne to design and knit these socks for her.

She began a 79-day journey, which she called the "Walk of Sorrow," after learning of the discovery of around 200 unmarked graves at the site of a former residential school in Kamloops, B.C. She departed on June 5 from the Prince Albert Indian Residential School, where she was forced to attend from 1978 to 1987.

Walk of Sorrow socks are worked toe-up using Judy’s Magic Cast-on, DPNs and have a German Short Row heel (Instructions included).

Practiced knitters can adapt the pattern to two circulars or a circular needle

The pattern is in 3 sizes and will fit Finished Foot Circumference 20.5, [23, 25.5] cm, (8, [9, 10]”)
