This pattern is my love letter to the Sanderson Sisters, and the ultimate Hocus Pocus inspired sock collection.

I have included 9 unique and original charts in the pattern: Three different toe motifs, three different arch motifs and three different cuff motifs. Stay true to your favourite witch or mix and match charts for your own custom socks!

These socks are constructed from the toe-up, with a gusset and heel flap heel. I’ve included 3 adult sizes, and the stranded colourwork motifs are in chart format.

This collection is a collaboration with GingerSnap and they have awesome kits available in their etsy shop: gingersnap

Winifred Sanderson - charts are “Here Lies Billy Butcherson”, “Booooook!”, and “Binx”

Mary Sanderson - charts are “I Knew I Left that Cauldron On!”, “Shish-ka-baby!”, and “Rabid Bats”.

Sarah Sanderson - charts are “What a Pretty Spider…Yum!”, “Come Little Children…”, and “Master!”.
