Have you dreamed of discovering a secret garden? A beatiful, magical hideaway that only you know about, where you can sit in peace in the sunshine, protected from the wind, and smell the intoxicating perfumes of the flowers while the birds and bees (and maybe a trickling little stream) gives the perfect audio backdrop? I know I have, and especially in the last tedious months of winter, when all I want is to see green and feel the sun again! This pattern was inspired by my longing for that beautiful secret little nook, where I can just BREATHE. Hope it gives you the same vibes!

Finished and blocked socks measure:
Length of the foot: approx. 23 cm/9”.
Circumference: approx. 21 cm/8,3”.
Size can be adjusted by using smaller or larger sized needles or by adding or removing some rows.

The pattern specifies the yarns I have used, but any sock yarn of the same weight (100gr = 425 meters/465 yards or 50 g = 210 meters/230 yards) will work fine.

Approximate weight needed (if sticking to gauge):

MC: 60 g
CC: 40 g

Pattern is written for magic loop, but double pointed needles work as well if you prefer that, just make sure to make necessary adjustments.

Pattern is available in English.

Techniques used: Forethought/Peasant Heel, Stranded Colourwork, Kitchener Stitch, Latvian Braid (optional).

The pattern has links to my accompanying videos on Youtube which explain some of the technical aspects of the work: How to work with magic loop, how to sew the kitchener stitch.
