Knitting Pattern: Bjorn Lothbrok Inspired Viking Socks

Welcome to the second exciting design in my exclusive Vikings socks collection, inspired by the hit television series on the History Channel. Following the first installment featuring my Powerscourt Waterfall Socks, this design celebrates the journey of Ragnar Lothbrok’s son, Bjorn. As he matures into a fierce warrior, eager to prove himself to his legendary father, he remains fiercely devoted to his mother, Lagertha, willing to go to great lengths to protect her.

These unisex Viking socks are uniquely designed to reflect the striking diamond pattern found on Bjorn’s protective leather armor. The colors and texture are reminiscent of the weathered look of authentic Viking attire. For this project, I’ve chosen the stunning Hazel Knits Artisan Sock yarn in the colorway Sassafras. This semi-solid, tonal, or heathered colorway truly brings the design to life, showcasing the intricate details of the pattern and adding an extraordinary visual appeal to your knitting project.

The historical figure of Bjorn Lothbrok, also known as Bjorn Ironside, is renowned as one of the most formidable Viking raiders, making his mark around the year 860 AD. With this knitting pattern, you’re not just crafting socks; you’re creating a piece of history that celebrates the legendary Viking culture and its iconic heroes.

This 72-stitch pattern allows for customization, enabling you to create a smaller size if desired by adjusting the yarn weight to a thinner fingering weight, making it suitable for various foot sizes. Whether you’re new to knitting or an experienced artisan, this pattern provides a rewarding challenge and is perfect for expressing your love of both knitting and the captivating Viking saga.
