merope - pdf pattern

the lost sister, merope was fated to be the faintest of her sisters because she married a mere mortal. she was initially missed by early astronomers and star charts, either because she hid her face in shame or because she followed her husband to hades upon his death, depending on the myth you believe.

these socks are subtly beautiful with an easy-to-memorize chart featuring cables and lifted stitches. if you want your own socks to shine brighter, choose a light natural sock yarn that will show off your stitches more clearly. but if you value a more subdued beauty in your sock drawer, go with medium to dark tones and a more rustic wool like tuku wool’s raku colour here.
