Tenderness Socks Digital Knitting Pattern

This listing is for a digital pattern only. No physical pattern will be sent. No finished projects included.

I wanted to create a beautiful but subtle pattern for socks for my mother. She has always been the source of tender comfort and care in my life. My mother is a beautiful, kind, loving, gentle woman. Tenderness is the perfect word to describe her attributes.

Worked cuff down, this design features a delicate cable and rib panel down the front, a heel flap and gusset, and a rounded wedge toe for a well-fitting, feminine sock.
