This sock is a celebration of one of my favorite trees, Linden. All parts of the Linden tree are useful and beneficial; just like a sock pattern. At the very center are the mini bobble seeds, framed by leaves with unique eyelet lace, and cables mimicking elongated bracts flow down the sides. This sock is knitted top down, with the ribbing flowing into the pattern, including a ribbed heel flap for a comfortable fit. Linden’s heart shaped leaves are featured in folklore to uplift the spirit and provide life. I’m hoping these socks will gladden your heart while knitting and wearing them.
