These leafy socks are inspired by William Morris, one of the most important textile designers of the 19th century as well as a poet, artist and social activist. He was a major contributor to the revival of British textile crafts and production.
These socks are knit cuff down with the cuff worked in a rib stitch with US1.5 needles (2.5mm) which is then increased to US2.5 needles (3mm) for the colourwork. The heel is a slipped stitch heel flap and the toe is grafted with Kitchener stitch.
