Grateful for being saved from certain death in a hunting accident, young Prince Edward vowed that he would make a pilgrimage to St. Peter's in Rome. When royal duties prevented King Edward from leaving home, the Pope released him from his promise if he would agree to restore St. Peter's Abbey in England. This building would later become part of London's Westminster Abbey.

The mosaic pattern in this sock is called Jerusalem Cross, evoking the memory of England's legendary king whose body lies buried beneath the Abbey.

The beauty of mosaic knitting and the symmetry of garter stitch provide texture and visual interest. The mystical maze of their construction, along with the unusual heel gusset, will cause fellow knitters to ask "How did you do that?"

Since the hand painted yarn included in the kits insures that no individual sock will match its mate, these socks would make an ideal gift for a Wizard in Training -- of any age!

On the more practical side, this unique design allows the bottom of the foot to be replaced without reknitting the entire foot.
