FRANCESCA

“A quiet smile, a secret stream,
She drifts where silence guards her dream.
Soft yet strong, she keeps her grace,
Francesca’s heart, a hidden place”.

This is the 3rd pattern in the Bridgerton Sisters Shortie Socks collection, designed with Francesca Bridgerton in mind.

The Francesca Socks are shortie socks that are knitted cuff down featuring a lovely rolled hem on the cuff, with a pretty lace pattern on the foot, so these socks will fly off your needles and are sure to become firm favourites.

The Francesca Socks are knitted using a slip stitch, heel flap and gusset construction, and my Swirl Toe, but feel free to substitute your own particular favourites.

The pattern is suitable for beginner knitters through to more experienced knitters. I would recommend using tonal / semi-solid / solid or a lightly speckled yarn to define the texture pattern.

This is a written pattern (without charts).
