The first in the Fairies in Literature collection, the Oberon socks are inspired by the imagery of Oberon with stag horns and by his personality: powerful but also tricky and manipulative. The yarn from Eternity Ranch Knits is inspired by the forest. They feature a simple horn cable down the front of the sock, and lots of smooth stocking stitch to let your yarn shine.
NB. If you knit to a looser gauge and are using the recommended yarn for the largest size then you may need more than one skein.
This pattern has been test knit and professionally tech edited.
