For Coral and carers socks
For Coral and carers
This pattern is inspired by and dedicated to my paternal grandmother. My nana was confined to a wheel chair for many years and I wanted a design with strong bold lines to represent her amazing strength of character.
The strong bold lines in the central panel also represents the strength of character of all the carers out there. This central panel emerges from the toe and heel flap, and flows all the way to the cuff creating a lovely sock.
This is a relatively simple design.
These socks are worked toe up and feature a wedge toe and heel flap.
