Aethelind Socks
Introducing the Aethelind Socks pattern, a beautifully crafted design that showcases a modern interpretation of the traditional twisted-stitch stocking. This elegant pattern is perfect for knitters who want to create unique and intricate socks that are both stylish and comfortable. We recommend using a solid or semi-solid yarn in a lighter color to fully display the stunning twists and turns of this design!
The name Aethelind translates to "noble serpent" in Saxon, which holds special significance as it is my daughter's middle name. The asymmetrical side cables in this pattern evoke the image of serpents gracefully gliding through sand, marking their presence with delicate tracks. This inspiration adds a personal touch to your knitting experience, making each pair of Aethelind Socks a cherished creation.
