Cold As Ice

“The northern girl Sansa. Winterfell’s daughter. We heard she killed the king with a spell, and afterward changed into a wolf with big leathery wings like a bat, and flew out a tower window.” – A Storm of Swords

Sansa Stark was born in the north, and the trials she has faced have been anything but easy. Though born into a life of privilege, it takes an icy exterior along with strength, intelligence, and sheer force of will to survive and succeed. Worked from the top down, these socks begin with a thick, cozy mohair cuff that is fitting for the Lady of Winterfell. Simple knits and purls create reverse stockinette ice shards down the front of the sock, edged with twisted ribbing. Winter is coming… time to start knitting!
