Inspired by our love for all things fantastic and magical, the branches reach across the legs joining the gently cabled trunks that stretch down to your toes. The mirror image effect forms the robust Tree of Erised, a tree you can only see with the magic of the mirrored charts.


Notes:

  • Pattern is charted and written for dpns but can easily be adjusted to use the circular needle technique of your choice
  • Due to the cables on the leg (which do not stretch as much as stockinette) you will start with a higher than standard number of stitches. If you find the socks to be too loose you can go down a needle size to get a tighter gauge.

Skills needed:

  • Chart reading
  • Cables
  • Standard decreases
  • Kitchener Stitch
