Beautifully Strong

“What do I care how ‘e looks? I am good-looking enough for both of us, I theenk! All these scars show is zat my husband is brave!”– Fleur Delacour, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

Fleur Delacour is a force to be reckoned with in the wizarding world. Full of beauty, brains, and bravery, she is chosen to represent the entire Beauxbatons school in the Triwizard Tournament. Worked from the toe-up, these socks pair silky wisps of mohair with sock yarn to create an overlay of diamond patterning throughout, finished with a lacy cuff. While they may appear delicate at first, you’ll soon find that, much like Fleur, these socks are both strong and beautiful.
