Spring 2018 - As I now have another six years’ knitting experience, I am working on updating this pattern! I’m hoping to have it out later this year! Thank you!

“That Anne-girl improves all the time … I get tired of other girls - there is such a provoking and eternal sameness about them. Anne has as many shades as a rainbow…” ~Anne of Green Gables by L.M. Montgomery

I got this yarn and originally wanted to do something fall-like, but nothing was coming to mind. Looking at the yarn more and more made me think of poor Anne Shirley and her failed attempt to dye her hair raven black. It’s not quite as green as her hair might’ve been, but I know how my hair looked when it was green and it was more brownish.

The pattern has a large braid in the middle, flanked by two small braids and a small twist on each side. Of course there had to be Anne’s braids! :)

So these are my “Anne-girl” socks (god forbid if I called them “carrots”!). This is the first pattern I’ve created.

If anyone finds any errors or has better suggestions for the toe construction, please let me know!
