These socks were designed to go with Jen’s “November” colorway. I love leafy socks, but I dislike how they often are just leaf lace panels applied to socks. I designed this sock to be organic, non-repetitive, and realistic. The sock begins at the cuff, where branches reach down the leg to little leaves, which fall down the leg leaving little nubs behind on the branch. Around the ankle you have a grassy field, with an eye of partridge heel that is reminiscent of a forest canopy that dapples the forest floor when the sun shines through the leaves. The foot of the sock is plain so that the socks will fit comfortably in shoes and all the pretty things will stick our above your sneakers!
