My favorite holiday decorations are wreaths and pine boughs, and that’s what inspired these socks. The Lifted-Over Knot clusters create beautiful wreath-like motifs and when worn the twisted rib columns open up like garlands of pine boughs. And while the motif looks complicated, it’s a surprisingly straightforward and intuitive knit.
