These socks are inspired by the fanciful sock and slipper patterns that Aleks’ grandmother Hilja collected in her sketchbooks, as well as a pair of baby-size embroidered slippers (“pätid”) that were gifted to Aleks when she was born. This toe-up sock is embellished with Roosimine Estonian Inlay knitting that covers the instep and continues up the front of the leg. The sock is worked with a gusset and Fleegle Heel.
