Birch Path Socks
A worthy addition to my Anne of Green Gables collection of patterns, the Birch Path Socks have simple birch leaf lace on the front, with a tall birch trunk evoked in the middle. Alongside the gorgeous birch trees, you will find the path itself, textured and zigzagging throughout the trees on the back of the sock, and onto the heel.
These socks will fly off your needles, and keep you entertained the whole time!
