The Grevillea Socks are inspired by the striking grevillea plant, a native Australian shrub known for its intricate, curling blossoms and vibrant colours that range from fiery reds to golden yellows. Just like the flower’s delicate spirals and clustered blooms, these socks capture a sense of movement and flow.

The pattern plays with increases and decreases, small cables, and eyelets to mimic the way each petal twists and unfurls, while steady ribbing grounds the design like the grevillea’s evergreen leaves. Knit stitch by stitch, the design grows organically — a balance of texture, openness, and rhythm that feels alive under your needles.
Whether you’re drawn to the grevillea for its wild beauty or its resilience in the Australian landscape, these socks are a celebration of colour, texture, and the joy of making.
