“Have fun storming the castle!”
- Miracle Max, The Princess Bride
The valiant heroes are sent away with this exclamation and an only mostly dead Westley, as they set off to make things right in Florin. These socks are worked from the toe-up with easy-to-memorize arcading lace along the instep and leg. A contrast color creates heraldic banners around the toe and before the cuff for a pair of socks that is sure to stand out amongst the Brute Squad. Just don’t forget your wheelbarrow and a large cloak for Fezzik.
