McGuinness Branch Socks

The enchanting lace pattern of these socks evokes the image of a gentle branch gracefully navigating around stones as it flows merrily along its path. I chose to name these delightful socks after a picturesque branch that meandered behind my grandparents’ home in Chambers County, Alabama. This nostalgic site served as the backdrop for countless Easter Egg hunts and joyful summer play, making the memories associated with it truly special. Just like these whimsical socks, the recollections bring a smile to my face. You can knit them seamlessly in the round using either two circular needles or five double-pointed needles (dpn). Featuring a classic round heel and a beautifully grafted toe, this pattern is designed for both novice and experienced knitters. Whether you're looking to create a heartfelt gift or simply want to indulge in a fun project, these socks are sure to add a touch of joy to your knitting adventures!
