Inspired by the socks Mrs. Ramsey knits in the opening pages of Virginia Woolf's To the Lighthouse, I've designed a pattern that honors the English fishing tradition with a gansey-inspired stitch pattern and that uses a traditional yarn--Jamieson and Smith's two-ply Shetland. This sock is sized for a women's medium, in calf-length with a deep cuff. The pattern is available in a free pdf link below:
