Metsäpolku socks were inspired by Finnish nature: Streams , leaves and twigs when spring makes forests awake again after long winter. Metsäpolku actually means forest trail in finnish. Stitch pattern is a combination of leaf lace, bobbles and moss stitch. Part of the stitch pattern was inspired by Hitomi Shidas Japanese knitting stitch bibble.
