Village Fete Socks

**Title: Celebrate Spring with Our May Day-Inspired Sock Knitting Pattern** **Description:** This May 2020, I’m excited to announce that for every knitting pattern sale made, I will be donating £2.50 to Marie Curie, a charity dedicated to providing care for the terminally ill in the UK. This initiative is part of the Flower Power Fund, curated by Dr. Sarah Holmes. Join me in this charitable cause while enjoying the delightful art of knitting! As spring awakens, the residents of England joyously usher in the warmer months on May Day. This vibrant celebration is marked by community spirit, with stalls brimming with delicious cakes and homemade jams surrounding the village green. At the heart of this festivity stands the majestic maypole, adorned with colorful ribbons, ready for the exhilarating maypole dance. Inspired by this charming tradition, I've crafted a unique sock knitting pattern that embodies the essence of May Day. The intricate streams of lace cascading down the front of the sock elegantly mimic the flowing ribbons of the maypole dance, while the stylish garter band at the back of the leg symbolizes the sturdy maypole itself. These socks are not only a perfect tribute to the season but also a beautiful addition to your spring knitting collection. For the sample of this knitting pattern, I utilized yarn from the renowned Sherry Iris Designs in the delightful 'Wild Strawberries' colorway. To add a lovely contrast, I chose Cascade Heritage in 'Herb' for the heels and toes, ensuring these socks are as stunning as they are comfortable. Whether you're a seasoned knitter or a beginner looking for a new project, this May Day sock pattern offers a perfect blend of artistry and functionality. Don’t miss the chance to create something special while supporting a noble cause! Grab your needles, choose your yarn, and let’s get knitting for a great purpose this May!
