Note: This listing is for a digital PDF knitting pattern, not the physical socks.
Newly Re-designed for 2024! This was my first ever sock pattern published in 2020 and I’ve given Barb a refresh.
The delicate lace pattern going down the side was modeled after the iconic frilly-fronted blouse Barbara wore on Stranger Things, while the ribbing around the back and sides reflect her supportive, practical nature on the show. I hope you enjoy knitting these socks as much as I did (perhaps while watching a Stranger Things marathon!)
