These socks are the first of a series of patterns inspired by teachings in Clarissa Pinkola Estés’ Women Who Run with the Wolves. Renewing our connection to the wild woman within is a kind of journey, so it makes sense to begin with our feet. One step, then another. This is the way to reclaim, rekindle and renew.

Designed to be knit from the toe up, these socks feature a watery motif created by simple cable twists. If you have ever wanted to attempt cables without a cable needle, this is the perfect opportunity. With a fleegle heel, you never have to pick up heel stitches, and you will be pleased with the way the gusset resolves into the leg of the sock without any gaps or holes.

This pattern has been tech edited and test knit.

The purchase price of $8 US accurately reflects the time, energy, expertise and effort that has gone into creating this pattern. Sales of my knitting patterns help to support the cost of maintaining my audio podcast, and I am very appreciative of your purchase.
