Step back and trace the lines. Whether it is a tall building, suspension bridge, mosaic tile, or even stained glass. These are the lines that inspired the Pastiche socks. This pair of cuff down socks have an all over cable that leads to a decorative heel. This pattern is so enjoyable and engaging that you won’t have second sock syndrome.
