Effervescent

“Bubbles, bubbles everywhere, but not a drop to drink… Fizzy Lifting Drinks. They fill you with gas, and the gas is so terrifically lifting that it lifts you right off the ground like a balloon.” – Willy Wonka; Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory

Light and airy, Effervescent will have you bubbling over with knitting enjoyment. These socks are worked from the top down, with a predictable lace pattern that gives the appearance of bubbles floating up the leg of the sock. A traditional heel flap gives way to a non-traditional gusset along the bottom heel, while ribbing along the back of the leg makes for a perfect fit. Suburban Stitcher’s hand-dyed yarn creates a perfectly playful pairing without overwhelming the design. Does life have you grounded? It’s time to Effervesce.

Lace pattern is both written and charted.
