Ealhswith was commemorated in early manuscripts as ‘the true and dear lady of the English’; one of the most powerful noble women in early medieval England, and wife of King Alfred the Great.

This pattern is designed to be inserted into my Foundation Socks comprehensive basic sock pattern, so you need to have a copy of that first (this is how I will be designing further patterns too) - saves on excessive printing and cost.

You can adapt the number of pattern repeats if you want shorter or longer socks. Personalised socks are never boring!

Enjoy : )
