This pattern was inspired by the colorway we chose. Every time I looked at the color I thought of chickens. Specifically, I thought of Barred Plymouth Rock chickens. You should look up the breed and see if you are reminded of this color too!

In any case, I decided that the only way to make these socks was as “chicken little” socks with eggs and lace ribs that reminded me of chicken scratchings.
