The socks are worked in the round from the top down. Instructions are given for working the socks on 4 or 5 double pointed needles. However, the pattern can easily be adapted for knitting on 2 circular needles, or on 1 circular needle, using magic loop.

Beads are optional.

Both written as well as charted instructions are included.

Aconitum, also commonly known as monkshood or wolf’s bane, is a late blooming perennial in our garden. They are tall and can take shade. Because they are poisonous and very tall, we place them at the back of the bed, often against a fence or other structure. The colours range from a pale blue to a rich purple blue, very similar to delphiniums. They bloom very late in the season, and can withstand some light frost and even survive through that first early snowfall. The colour of this yarn remind me of these flowers, and the lace pattern mimics the “hoods” of the individual flowers.
