This ebook contains four sock patterns, written both as cuff down and toe up. Each pair of socks has been designed from historical Celtic patterns: The Banais (Gaelic for Wedding) is designed to celebrate the symbols of love and marriage. You’ll find the Trinity Stitch representing the Holy Trinity, Marriage Lines representing the ups and downs of marriage, Links of Love, and a Tree of Life. The Edinburgh is named for the thistle design on the front. It’s said all Scots are like their thistle: Strong, stubborn and prickly but the beauty within soon flowers in rich, deep and majestic color. The Filey was designed from traditional stitch patterns found in that area bordering the North Sea. The Hebrides was designed from traditional stitch patterns found in that area off the coast of Scotland.
