“All the waves behind them seemed to take on unusual shapes… The air grew cold. The ship seemed to move uneasily as if she felt danger behind her.” - The Voyage of the Dawn Treader
Sailing through a storm might present a challenge, but these socks are a breeze. Worked from the toe up, the knitter will use a simple technique to create a dramatic effect. Ribbed stitches make for a cozy, flexible fit, while dropped stitches create waves within the design. The texture created is simple enough to enhance your favorite Countess Ablaze variegated yarn, but interesting enough to transform your favorite semi-solid.
