Drawing inspiration from some favorite stories of my childhood, this first Hygge Canyon Lit Trilogy features three sock patterns with simple texture and addictive cablework.

Inspired by my favorite songs and our family vinyl collection, the sock patterns in the Hygge Canyon Vinyl Series play with color and texture in lyrical ways.

Jane Eyre, one of the renowned stories in literature, has inspired authors throughout the 20th and 21st centuries to create works that are the literary children of Jane. Beginning with the original tale, The Jane Quartet explores these literary offspring through yarn and simple stitches.

This pattern is meant for your most highly speckled yarn and is intended to help you celebrate your favorite “difficult to use” skeins with something just beyond a plain stockinette sock.

An October morning spent traipsing through the woods; the sky is blue, the sun is shining through the crimson and gold leaves as your feet kick up those that have already fallen onto the forest path. Can you imagine a better day? When you return to Camp, a hammock is waiting for you, along with your coziest, striped wool socks.

Inspired by the poem “October” by Robert Frost, this sock pattern features a stretchy twisted, ribbed cable down the back of the leg into the heel, evoking falling leaves, twisting branches, or rushing water.
