Garden Wall Socks
Gardening is among my many hobbies and I am often inspired by the beautiful plants around my yard. One thing I do not have is a lovely garden wall so I imagined this design as an element in my garden. These socks are knit top down, cuff to toe, with a 2x2 ribbed cuff, followed by a repeating pattern through the leg and top of the foot. The heel is constructed with a slipped stitch flap and traditional heel, and a traditional, decreased toe with symmetrical shaping, finished with kitchener stitch. They reach mid calf and are available in four adult sizes.
Happy knitting and please reach out with any questions or comments!
