Arrows have always resonated with me as a symbol of strength and perseverance. They serve as a reminder to keep moving forward, even when the odds are sometimes against us. The Dauntless Socks were designed with the intention to make you feel strong and empowered when you wear them. A reminder to be a little more dauntless.

The pattern is written for cuff-down construction, and features stranded colourwork across the leg portion of the sock. The colourwork is bordered by two Latvian braids; a simple yet striking technique that is perfect for beginners looking to try something new! The pattern features a traditional heel-flap and gusset, and simple toe, allowing the colourwork to shine. The colourwork and contrast heels/toes mean that the pattern is also perfect for using up any scraps or minis you may have lying around!
