Inspired by the Night Court, these socks feature an easy lace motif depicting mountains beneath a starlit sky, with three stars shining above the peaks.

Designed to be approachable and enjoyable, Night Court Socks offer a simple introduction to lace knitting without sacrificing a little magic. With clear, uncomplicated lace motifs and both top-down and toe-up instructions, you can choose the construction that suits you best.

A great project for newer lace knitters looking to try something new, or for experienced sock knitters who want a relaxing, familiar rhythm. These are the perfect socks to cast on and knit while listening to an audiobook of your favourite series. Let the story unfold, stitch by stitch, beneath your own little night sky.
