Celebrate self-acceptance and strength with I Feel Wicked, a top-down cable sock pattern inspired by the iconic transformation of Elphaba in Wicked.

Classic 1/1 cables represent her straightlaced exterior, while the Emerald City-inspired pattern echo her inner vulnerability and longing for belonging. Worked from the cuff down with a traditional heel flap and gusset, these socks are both grounded in tradition and laced with emotion.

The emerald-hued motif evokes Elphaba’s search for connection, but the name—I Feel Wicked—marks the moment she stops hiding and embraces her true self. Whether you knit them as a quiet rebellion or a bold declaration, these socks are a tribute to standing tall in your own power.
