‘Little Winter Socks’ are stranded colorwork socks featuring winter imagery depicted in simple line drawings.
Each tiny motif combines to create a charming striped pattern.

The colorwork is designed with regular spacing, creating a rhythm that is easy to follow, and it’s also fun to discover the meaning of each motif.
