Forest Sprite Socks
Whimsical and wearable, the Forest Sprite Socks are the perfect blend of texture, comfort, and charm. Worked from the cuff down with an afterthought heel and short rows, these socks are wonderfully versatile — allowing you to easily adjust both the leg and foot length to suit your perfect fit.
The design uses a lovely mix of stitches — knit, purl, yarn overs, decreases, and subtle texture — to create an engaging and satisfying knit. Suitable for all levels, the pattern includes both charted and written instructions for ease and accessibility.
Knit in the beautifully rustic Triskelion Talog yarn — a soft yet strong 50/50 Corriedale and Mohair blend — the sample shown uses the enchanting Aafallon colourway, reminiscent of deep woodland glades and leafy paths.
