duchess

Stephanie M's, Duchess is a cuff-down sock worked in Starling. The snowy owl motif that circles the leg was inspired by a snowy owl who used Washington, D.C.'s Union Station as her nightly hunting ground. Stephanie fondly remembers grabbing her binoculars to watch her in action. An unexpected sight in the heart of the city, the owl became the starting point for this design. Worked with a single colorwork chart, a classic heel flap and gusset, and a three-needle bind off at the toe. Pair Duchess with Stephanie's Field Mark fingerless gloves for all your birding adventures.
