Cressid Socks

The Cressid Socks are knitted with fingering weight yarn on 2.25mm needles (US 1). This pattern is written as a toe-up sock with a split gusset, an Eye of Partridge heel flap, lace paneling, and a 1x1 rib with a tubular bind-off. Shakespeare's Cressida in *Troilus and Cressida* inspired the feminine lace panels in the Cressid Socks. Delicate lace winds up the leg like shifting loyalties and promises, while the clean, modern lines of the toe-up construction echo Cressida’s quiet strength and complicated heart.
