Meyaah Liessa
“What does that mean?” 
“It’s old Atlantian. The language of the gods,” Casteel said, his voice rough. He cleared his throat as he squeezed my hand again. “Meyaah Liessa. It means: my Queen.”

Once upon a time, I fell deep into the world of Poppy and Casteel and never looked back! As a fantasy fiction lover, I can assure you that the Blood and Ash series is incredible in every way and if you haven’t gotten on the Jennifer L. Armentrout train you are seriously missing out!

While I was totally immersed in all things Atlantian, I was so inspired to create a sock that embodied Poppy and her title of Meyaah Liessa. It took a few tries (and an entire reread!) but I am so super pleased with how this pattern has turned out. Its everything I wanted and so much more. The lace repeats may seem intimidating at first glance but they are so simple to memorize. The lace also works up remarkably fast which is always a joy!

These socks are knit cuff down with a modified Eye of Partridge heel flap. There are instructions for both mid calf and ankle (shorty) socks included in the pattern. I hope you enjoy making your Liessa Socks as much as I have enjoyed designing them. Happy knitting!
