“I’ve seen the spring now and I’m going to see the summer. I’m going to see everything grow here. I”m going to grow here myself.”
- Colin Craven, The Secret Garden
The magic of The Secret Garden encapsulates the growing and changing of both children and plants throughout the book. These top-down socks use cables and lace to create tangles of tulips down the foot of the socks that Grow Together as you knit them. This design highlights the beauty of a semi-solid or lightly speckled yarn, producing a floral arrangement that will grow old with you.
