Brigid's Booties

................................................. BRIGID’S BOOTIES ................................................. Inspired by the spirit of Imbolc, this transformative design felt like turning a corner…
 only to discover that I had arrived to revisit my creative origins. 

 Based on a vernacular Eastern European method of knitting footwear, the construction 
is very simple - yet so unexpected, it is almost magical, inviting the knitter to suspend disbelief as their stitches transform from 2D to 3D, from what at first resembles a swatch, to a fully sculpted and overwhelmingly charming bootie. 

 Extremely customisable, Brigid’s Booties can be knitted to any leg height and any foot size.
 And once you try a pair, it is almost guaranteed that more will follow. They are exceptionally cozy to wear, and addictive to knit! .................................. This pattern is part of the [VARV III: Home/ Wear Collection][1]. A version suitable for standard yarns will be available next week. .................................. MATERIALS & INFORMATION SIZING
