Varda Socks

Introducing the Varda sock pattern, a dazzling creation featuring intricate cable work, restful rows, and a beautifully patterned heel flap. This stunning sock pattern is exclusively available through the Claire Ellen Sock Club until September 2014, or you can purchase kits directly from Wooly Wonka Yarn. Perfect for knitters of all levels, the Varda sock is not just a project, but a journey into the world of texture and style.

Inspired by Varda, one of the revered Valar from J.R.R. Tolkien's expansive mythology, this sock pattern pays homage to her other names, Elbereth and The Lady of the Stars. To embody her ethereal essence, I chose a yarn with a touch of tinsel woven through, giving the finished socks a subtle sparkle that evokes the beauty of the night sky. For the best results, I highly recommend using a solid or semi-solid color yarn to truly highlight the intricate cable pattern and showcase your hard work.

The Varda sock pattern offers flexible sizing options, accommodating stitch counts of 64, 72, and 80 stitches. This higher stitch count is essential due to the inelastic nature of the cabling, ensuring that your socks will not only fit perfectly but also look stunning. Whether you are knitting for yourself or creating a thoughtful gift for a loved one, the Varda sock will quickly become a cherished addition to any sock collection. Get ready to elevate your knitting skills and delight in the beauty of this enchanting sock pattern!
