Bleeding Hearts Socks
Delicate, graceful, and full of nostalgia, the Bleeding Hearts socks are a tribute to the elegant flower that inspired them. Featuring petal-like motifs reminiscent of the pink and white blooms I grew up with, this design weaves childhood memories and botanical beauty into every stitch.

As a photographer, I’ve spent countless hours capturing the quiet charm of bleeding hearts in full bloom. Designing this pattern felt like returning to my childhood garden—each stitch echoing the soft curves and timeless elegance of these flowers.

Whether you’re drawn to the natural inspiration, the calming rhythm of the pattern, or the floral flair for your sock drawer, Bleeding Hearts offers a graceful and engaging knit.
