Effie Socks

The second sock in the TRIBUTE SERIES, This sock was inspired by Effie Trinket, A character from The Hunger Games trilogy by Suzanne Collins. She is a bubbly, effervescent, confection of a woman. Optimistic and perpetually perky, she is the official spokeswoman and liaison between the CAPITOL and District 12. Her personal style is very bright, bubbly, curvy and colorful. She’s the kind of woman who would put a ruffle on a ruffle and is not afraid of pink!

To reflect Effie’s bouncy personality, I’ve designed a lace sock that features a pattern with swirls and curls, just like Effie! It also has a twisted rib cuff (because they look neat and clean) and a twisted rib center back panel to add subtle shaping while also giving the visual appearance of a corset (a necessary accessory for a lady of The Capitol). It also features an afterthought ruffle which is added after the entire sock has been knit, and can be left of if the knitter desires a simpler appearing sock. **Specifically
