The Red Lady is a pirate queen known for causing trouble on boats. She would dress as an “entertainer” in order to get aboard, then perform a strip tease, revealing (gasp!) trousers!!! And a sword. After killing all the men aboard, she would take the ship out to sea. What a lady!

The sock pattern is exclusive to the Barking Dog Yarns Sock Club until 2014.
