Falls of Nimrodel

“Frodo lay for some time awake, and looked up at the stars glinting through the pale roof of quivering leaves. …At last lulled by the wind in the boughs above, and the sweet murmur of the falls of Nimrodel below, Frodo fell asleep…” ~ The Fellowship of the Ring by J.R.R. Tolkien

Falls of Nimrodel is a surprisingly soothing knit. Allow the rhythm of the gently twisting cables draw you in as they wind back and forth across the sock, interrupted only by delicate leaves and tiny twinkling beads.

This sock is knit from the toe up, with charted instructions only for the cable pattern on the instep.

You can choose from a plain or patterned toe, a heel flap or afterthought heel, and can decide whether or not to add beads within the pattern for a little extra sparkle!

The pattern is written for magic loop, but can easily be adapted for DPNs or small circular needles.

This pattern has been thoroughly tested and Tech Edited for clarity and correctness.
