Fiadhta

Introducing Fiadhta: a beautifully intricate knitting pattern meaning "wild or fierce" in Scottish Gaelic. This stunning design features a unique twisted rib and lace pattern that evokes images of owls soaring through the night, majestic stags in the wilderness, and the vibrant motion of crashing waves along the shore. The captivating pattern gracefully runs up the edge of the instep and is mirrored elegantly on the leg after the heel, creating a seamless design that is both eye-catching and stylish.

Knit these delightful socks from the toe up, utilizing a gusset and heel flap construction that not only ensures a great fit but also adds a layer of interest for knitters. Fiadhta offers a rewarding blend of relaxing knitting and engaging patterns, making it the perfect project for travel knitting or for those cozy nights in while you enjoy your favorite film!

This comprehensive pattern is fully written, thoroughly tech edited, and has been tested by experienced knitters to ensure clarity and ease of use. To help you visualize the design, we’ve included a detailed screenshot of the pattern, along with a comprehensive list of the stitches used at the bottom of the photos. For this project, you'll want to be familiar with the double-sided cast-on technique, such as Judy’s Magic Cast-On, and a stretchy bind-off method like Jeny’s Surprisingly Stretchy Bind-Off, both of which are essential for achieving the best results.
