I have always loved the blue and white and subtle greys of the patterns on Arita porcelain from 17th century Japan. The Chinese-influenced “Blue Willow” or “India Tree” is my favourite, with the different geometric forms in the border. These socks are a blending of some of these inter-related patterns.

I also offer a 4 ply fingering weight version of this pattern and a mitten version as well.
