This beautiful wave pattern has origins all over the world and through all times. We see it in Pompeii in mosaics, along reliefs in Egyptian frescoes, and in garments woven in Central and South America.

The geometry is suggested by simple math and our love for rhythm and repeats, making it timeless and evocative.
These socks are warm and suited for wearing with your Birkenstocks on cool spring and summer evenings or with your boots when the wheel turns and cold weather comes again.

Kenzie requires handwashing, these socks can be made with any light worsted or DK weight yarn.
