Three patterns inspired by the Katniss Everdeen and her father. The cowl, socks and mitts all use original lace motifs designed to resemble arrows in a quiver and are bordered by Katniss’ signature braids.

Sock Knitter’s Anonymous MAY MOCK. Inspired by Terry Brooks’ Shannara Chronicles, and the corresponding MTV TV show.

Sansa Stark, in her journey from child to woman moves between being a unwitting pawn to a player of power. It is her transformation from Lannister plaything to Lady of the Eyrie (as seen in the books…the HBO series takes her another direction) that became the inspiration for this sock. Cold, dark, beautiful, enchanting with enough twists and tu...

INSPIRATION: I’ve been a huge Joss Whedon fan since high school. It was the 90’s. His first big hit, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, was still on the air, and the spin-off, Angel, was also hugely popular. When I graduated and moved on to university, it was often a weekly dorm ritual to gather around the common room TV and watch the latest episodes.

DESIGN NOTES:

This mitt was originally inspired by Ginny Weasley from the Harry Potter series by JK Rowling. Poor Ginny…she mooned hopelessly over Harry for years before he noticed her. She probably traced his name with hearts in Herbology and Potions whilst no one was watching, practicing her signature as Mrs. Ginny Potter…

This pattern is done in collaboration with INVICTUS YARNS for their FALL KAL. We will be offering prizes and an opportunity to double dip in my own KAL.

Winter into Summer and back again. These socks are a pair of sister socks, inspired by the movie “Frozen” and the transitional times between Winter and Summer as one season falls away and we welcome the next.

I’ve always loved the story of Sleepy Hollow, and the new TV show dramatizing the tale brings a fun modern twist to an old classic. With winding cables and sparks of crystal beads, there are little bright flashes of hope and light in a dark and twisting wood of impossibilities.

DESIGN NOTES: Mockingjay was one of the first sock designs I ever imagined. Over two years ago, when I had finished reading “Catching Fire” the image of Katniss’ dress bursting into flames on stage and becoming the elusive Mockingjay, foreshadowing her own transformation into the “rebel” she was destined to become, stayed with me, haunting my d...

When I think of summer, gentle warm days full of bike rides and flying kites at the Berkeley Marina are the first things that spring to mind. When I start to think about kites, I can’t help but think of the movie Mary Poppins, currently My daughter’s favorite, and how important wind and kites play as a theme for family and change. These thought...

These mitts were designed to be a complimentary pattern using the central bow and arrow lace motif I developed for the socks and cowl. Worked up in fingering or sport weight, they are a fun, quick knit and a great way to use one of those partial skeins of yarn left in your stash!

THIS IS A MYSTERY SOCK KNIT ALONG!

In The Hunger Games Series by Suzanne Collins, Katniss learned her archery skills from her bow making father as a young girl. The family Everdeen is the inspiration for this cowl, an irresistible combination of sturdy cabling and lush winter lace designed to look like the featured shaft of an arrow. Worked in DK weight yarn, this cowl is a quic...

The family Everdeen, especially Katniss and her father, are the inspiration for this not quite knee-high sock. In The Hunger Games Series by Suzanne Collins, Katniss learned her archery skills from her bow making father as a young girl.

Design Notes: Of all the Hunger Games characters, Cinna is one of the most memorable, noble, and oddly enough, manly. I wanted a sock to reflect his flair for fashion as well as his love for timeless classics. A knit argyle made of textures seemed just subtle and bold enough for this traditional man. But since he also has a flair for the dramat...

Rue is tragic figure from The Hunger Games trilogy by Suzanne Collins. She is a very young champion, much like Primrose would have been if Katniss hadn’t volunteered to take her place. Her death in the arena, and the kindness shown during the burial ceremony Katniss performs for her (placing flowers around her in a pleasant array, posing her as...

On the surface, Haymitch seems a bit of a drunken fool, the kind of man prone to mistakes. But one doesn’t become a Victor by accident. Sure, he’s a bit off center, but that doesn’t mean he can’t be deadly accurate when the need arises. With an asymmetric heel and toe detail, and a slip st rib detail that has the appearance of a purposeful mist...

The inspiration for these socks came from the idea of Indian Summer. While I was preparing this pattern we were experiencing a bit of Indian Summer here in El Cerrito and the idea of a autumnal lace sock really appealed to me. Oftentimes, here in the SF Bay Area, our most beautiful, sunny, hot days happen in Deep Fall. A lace sock knit up in au...

The fifth sock in the TRIBUTE SERIES, this sock is also inspired by Primrose Everdeen. Here you will find a fully fleshed out pattern with options for toes and heels fully charted and explained. Essentially this is a simplistic version of Primrose Socks without the fancy flower motifs and with a traditional gusset (not ribbed and not center bot...

The fourth sock in the ever growing TRIBUTE SERIES, the inspiration for this sock is Primrose Everdeen, also called Prim, the little sister of Katniss Everdeen from The Hunger Games Series by Suzanne Collins. Named for a delicate flower with heart shaped petals, she is the only person in the world that Katniss knows she loves unconditionally…Th...

Essentially, this is a very bare bones version of my Prim Sock without any of the bells and whistles, and none of the fancy charts.

The third sock in the TRIBUTE SERIES, this sock is inspired by Gale Hawthorne, a character from The Hunger Games trilogy by Suzanne Collins. He is a cunning hunter who specializes in using snares (a skill that serves him well in later books). His name, Gale, is also a type of storm, a force of nature. This sock is meant to combine those two asp...

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, ...

This is the first in a series of socks inspired by the Hunger Games Trilogy and movies.
