Card Party

“Then followed the Knave of Hearts, carrying the King’s crown on a crimson velvet cushion; and, last of all this grand procession, came the King and Queen of Hearts” - Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland

Welcome to Wonderland! As the enchanting playing cards paint the roses red, the formidable Queen of Hearts makes her grand entrance, bringing with her the spirit of adventure and whimsy. These delightful socks serve as your personal invitation to the Card Party, should you choose to embark on this whimsical knitting journey. Starting with a picot cast-on reminiscent of a joker’s crown, these playful socks are crafted with a top-down approach. The leg features stranded colorwork that adds a vibrant touch, nodding to the iconic red card suits.
