The dark hedges in Northern Ireland (near the village of Armoy) along Bregagh Road lies a stunning site: A row of Beech trees that curve in crazy cool ways. The trees, planted by the Stuart family in the 18th century to dress up the road towards their manor, sit intertwined, creating a truly bizarre site in any season. This curvy and mystical road is the inspiration for these March socks. The shamrocks and twisted right/left cables represent the curving trees and the road, which the trees guard.

These socks feature: a toe up design using Judy’s Magic Cast On, a short row W&T heel by and Elizabeth Zimmermann’s Sewn Bind Off.
