Lestat Socks
Designed for Super Sock Scarefest 2022 and inspired by the movie and Anne Rice’s book - Interview with the Vampire.
This cuff-down sock with a heel flap features colour work and Victorian gothic styling fit for The Brat Prince.
As the vampire Lestat is all about giving people the choices (that he never had) there are multiple options within the sock. Will you choose to vamp it up and knit the ruffle, braids, beads, and cables? Or if you are feeling Lestat’s dangerous streak, roll a die / dice and let fate decide your socks.
