“How do you solve a problem like Maria?
How do you catch a cloud and pin it down?
How do you find the word that means Maria?
A flibbertijibbet! A will-o’-the wisp! A clown!”
– The Nuns,The Sound of Music**

Flibbertigibbet is a top-down sock featuring complex cables, simple lace, and uniquely placed garter stitch. It begins with a scalloped cast-on. Ribbing gives way to cables and lace, both charted and written, that work their way down the leg. A slip-stitch heel provides durability, while a gusset placed on the bottom of the heel creates a unique look for this fancy footwear. Worked in a solid or semi-solid colorway, this sock transforms the yarn into something both whimsical and wearable, while highlighting the undeniable skill of a proficient sock knitter.
