Trolley Square Socks
Long before Salt Lake City had a lightrail system, a trolley took weary travelers from one end of the city to the other. While the trolley system fell out of use, the trolley station became a shopping and dining center, with notable brickwork, cobblestones, and inlaid trolley tracks still visible in a few places.
These socks, with a twisted rib pattern mimicking the brickwork and trolley cable up the back, are my ode to Trolley Square. Plus, the waffle and cable tie in beautifully with the Gallivan Plaza Shawl and Salt & Honey Slouch!
This pattern is only available via The Salt Lake Collection.
