Audrey

$8.50

Audrey Hepburn personifies perfection, embodying timeless elegance and grace. Her presence has consistently captivated my admiration, establishing her as one of my all-time beloved actresses. Her allure is not only enchanting but also a source of inspiration for the person I aspired to become.

Throughout the film Funny Face, her extraordinary talents are prominently displayed, but it is during the beatnik dance scene that her brilliance truly shines. This sequence becomes a canvas for her to unveil the culmination of years of dedicated dance training she received during her upbringing. I earnestly encourage you to experience the movie firsthand, allowing yourself the opportunity to fully immerse in Audrey’s multifaceted artistry, just as I have.

Our Audrey-inspired sock pattern artfully captures the essence of the icon herself. In every stitch, we’ve woven in the spirit of Audrey Hepburn, paying homage to her indelible legacy.

Worked in the round, Audrey contains both cuff-down and toe-up written directions and a chart for the pattern stitch. The pattern has instructions for a peasant heel (afterthought heel using scrap yarn), but you may substitute whatever heel you enjoy using (links included for alternatives).

The pattern is written for the magic loop method for knitting socks; however, the design could be worked on double-pointed needles or mini-circulars instead should you prefer (ensure you denote your instep stitches with extra markers โ€“ so you donโ€™t miss the placement of the heel or toe shaping).
