Virva Socks

In 2017, the talented designer Fiona Alice unveiled her first creation, the Virva, featuring a charming matching hat and fingerless mitt set, published in Issue 3 of Laine Magazine. Drawing continued inspiration from these intricate stitches, Fiona envisioned the Virva Socks as a delightful addition to this beloved collection. These exquisite socks are elegantly adorned with the same textures and motifs that characterize the original designs, showcasing Viola’s rustic hand-dyed colors for a unique and aesthetic appeal. The pattern features twisted ribbing that artfully transforms into delicate flower stems and buds, giving the impression of being encased in a dome-like structure, reminiscent of plants sheltered within a greenhouse or terrarium.

These beautiful Virva Socks are designed to be worked from the toe up, making them a versatile choice for knitters of all skill levels. The pattern is crafted specifically for those using the Magic Loop Method, where the top of the foot is worked across the first needle, and the sole is completed across the second needle. For those who prefer traditional methods, double-pointed needles (DPNs) can easily be utilized: simply follow the instructions for the first needle across the 1st and 2nd DPNs, and for the second needle, work across the 3rd and 4th DPNs.

Additionally, individual patterns for Fiona’s Virva Hat and Virva Mitts are readily available online, allowing knitters to create a stunning matching set. Whether you’re an experienced knitter or just starting your knitting journey, the Virva Socks pattern is sure to inspire creativity and deliver a cozy, stylish accessory for your wardrobe.
