Continuing with my love for all things Anne of Green Gables, the Kindred Spirits Socks evoke the simple beauty of Anne. They are knit in a stunning colorway by Lizzie Anne Yarns which reminds me of the gorgeous blossoms that bloomed on the Snow Queen outside Anne’s window each year. Oh to be Anne, gazing out the window at the gorgeous cherry tree, only to realize her Kindred Spirit, Diana had arrived on the lane.

I hope this simple, but gorgeous pattern brings you as much joy to knit as it did me. It is perfect for beginners, but will keep you enthralled the whole knit!

NOTES

-The socks are knit cuff down, but could easily be knit toe up as well.

-Pattern is written for the magic loop method. If you would like to knit with DPNs you can instead work instructions for first needle across 1st and 2nd DPNs and work the instructions for the second needle across 3rd and 4th DPNs.

-Included in this pattern are three sizes Small (Medium, Large), sizes are based off of foot circumference, not finished length!

Large - for a foot circumference of approx. 10-11 inches (25-27.5cm)

-Keep in mind when selecting pattern size that the cables will make the sock tighter!
